[Community] Remove repeated points with Shapely

[Denis Rykov]

Hello!

I would like to remove repeated points from geometry (such as
ST_RemoveRepeatedPoints in PostGIS).
It looks like Shapely doesn't have appropriate function, but I've
discovered that I can solve my problem using "simplify" function with 0
tolerance: simplify(0).
Is it right approach?

Thanks.

This sounds a bit like the buffer(0) approach to polygon cleaning. If it
works, then it's a good approach. I suspect it would be faster than
traversing the points of a line and removing equivalent ones in Python,
because all the logic would be done in GEOS with no Shapely object overhead.
