What are the attributes of a shape in Python?
For each shape (or state), there are a number of attributes defined: bbox, parts, points and shapeType.

Where can I get a pyshp shapefile to read?
Before doing anything you must import the library. The examples below will use a shapefile created from the U.S. Census Bureau Blockgroups data set near San Francisco, CA and available in the git repository of the PyShp GitHub site. To read a shapefile create a new “Reader” object and pass it the name of an existing shapefile.
How to open shapefiles in Context Manager PyPI?
Shapefiles can be opened using the context manager, and files are properly closed. Shapefiles can be iterated, have a length, and supports the geo interface. Add more support and documentation for MultiPatch 3D shapes. The Reader “elevation” and “measure” attributes now renamed “zbox” and “mbox”, to make it clear they refer to the min/max values.
Which is the default encoding for PyPI shapefiles?
Most shapefiles are written in UTF-8 encoding, PyShp’s default encoding, so in most cases you don’t have to specify the encoding. For reading shapefiles in any other encoding, such as Latin-1, just supply the encoding option when creating the Reader class.
