Display the main form file using PyQt

Are there any packages that allow you to interactively display shapefiles of a GIS? I am looking to create a simple graphical interface that displays simple shapefiles (coastlines, etc.), but it seems I cannot find where to start. I was tasked with doing this in R, but I would like to try using python and Qt.

Mapnik supports GIS form files and has a Python interface.

I think you can use a shapefile combination to read files, and shapely for all data processing.

I used shapely to work with geodata tapes that were loaded into the database, to work with point and polygon data.

In your comments, if you just want to just display the shapefile in your PyQt application, then you really need to convert it to SVG and display it directly. I did not use this lib conversion , but I'm sure I like them more. Then you can simply use QSvgWidget to load and display it
