I am a little confused with the convex hull functionality.  Can someone set me 
straight?


In [29]: type(ch)
Out[29]: <class 'shapely.geometry.polygon.Polygon'>

In [30]: ch.wkt
Out[30]: 'POLYGON ((-0.5000000000000000 0.5000000000000000, -1.5000000000000000 
1.2000000000000000, -1.0000000000000000 1.0000000000000000, -0.5000000000000000 
0.5000000000000000))'

In [31]: ch.boundary
Out[31]: <shapely.geometry.linestring.LineString object at 0x13c0a10>

In [32]: ch.boundary.wkt
Out[32]: 'LINESTRING (-0.5000000000000000 0.5000000000000000, 
-1.5000000000000000 1.2000000000000000, -1.0000000000000000 1.0000000000000000, 
-0.5000000000000000 0.5000000000000000)'

In [33]: ch.boundary.boundary
Out[33]: <shapely.geometry.multipoint.MultiPoint object at 0x13c0eb0>

In [34]: ch.boundary.boundary.wkt
Out[34]: 'MULTIPOINT EMPTY'

Here is where I thought I would have a multipoint with my points.  I thought it 
would take me one more level of bounary call to get to empty.  Basically, I 
want to build a convex hull of 10M points... I was thinking that it would be 
way more efficient to add each point and compute a new convex hull.  What is 
the best way to attack something like this?

Thanks!
