I'll just copy what I asked on github page: 
https://github.com/Toblerity/Shapely/issues/44

While looking for appropriate way to solve a problem I'm not trained for, I 
opened a discussion in scikit-image google group: 
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/scikit-image/I28t7wr-bzY/discussion as I 
expected this problem to be solvable through image processing.

In short, my problem is that I have an old map scan, which I segmented to 
extract topological lines, but as this map consists of various labelings, 
graticules and other lines overlaid on topo contours, I get gaps in resulting 
image: http://i.imgur.com/tgphMUKt.png

So looking through Python packages I noticed Shapely, and reading reference 
files it seems it operates on points, lines and polygons, like a vector 
program. I didn't study documentation, but I thought that it might be possible 
to use this package and get reconstructed contours, as I'm able to export shape 
file with spline contours, based on my segmented bitmap with disconnected 
contours. Please take a look at this shape file: 
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8BY3UUCWEsOdDJPdldpWTk4dFU/edit?usp=sharing

Can I get confirmation if Shapely as a package can help in this process?

TIA
