pyogrio v0.4.0 is currently using GDAL 3.4.1

[nmarchio]

Hey @nofurtherinformation ! Looks like this is a documented issue in pyogrio's repo as of early last month: pyogrio v0.4.0 is currently using GDAL 3.4.1 instead of 3.5+ which supports GeoParquet. This would explain the issues I've been having trying to use pyogrio with GeoParquet file formats.

Here is the relevant comment from Joris about the issue: geopandas/pyogrio#154 (comment)

And here is the error that tipped me off:

Out of curiosity, I wonder how you were able to get this to work? Did you just convert the parquet to gpkg with QGIS then use this repo? Were you able to run at all with GeoParquet in any of your testing?

Also looks like this is part of a bigger issue related to homebrew GDAL installation not including parquet.

opengeospatial/geoparquet#99

You can see here I'm using 3.5.2 and no parquet support:

And for vis, filed an issue here to get GDAL 3.5+ added to QGIS: qgis/QGIS-Mac-Packager#156
