Not just dependency reasons. When I tried to use Jeff's version with Shapely, I had to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib for ctypes to find my geos library. I couldn't find any cleaner way to do it, and I don't consider that acceptable. Is there a clean way to tell ctypes where a library is? I was surprised it was not even checking that standard location. Also, pyrex does a *lot* more than ctypes, and I think Jeff will tell you he has put that power to good use in his new basemap version.
