This seems to come from shapely. Maybe 1.8.x version are not compatible with python 3.12.x

I tried with python 3.10 and I have no error with prettymaps installation.

@marceloprates Could we upgrade shapely to a 2.0.x version ?

Thanks, I was also having issues trying to install on python 3.12, but it worked when I switched to python 3.10.

Same issue on MacOS with Python 3.12, but it seems to be to do with the numpy version.
