QGIS to (Geo)Pandas follow-up

The conversation around Looking for better ways to convert between QGIS VectorLayer and (Geo)DataFrame is continuing over at https://fosstodon.org/@underdarkGIS/115442614331293320

What I’ve learned so far:

• QgsVectorLayer.as_geopandas() has landed in QGIS master on 13 Oct 2025.
• There’s also QgsVectorLayer.field_to_numpy() which will be useful for many applications and has landed on 29 Oct 2025.
• QgsArrowIterator is in the works right now.

Exciting times for spatial data science tooling 🤩
