Just to clarify, Shapely depends only on a recent version of python (2.4+), libgeos (which is a dependency of QGIS anyways) and ctypes (included in python 2.5). It is similar to GeoDjango's ctypes interface in that respect. I believe that it was intentionally developed as a separate package to avoid dependency on PCL. -- Matthew T.
