Coordinate reference systems in Python: EPSG codes, pyproj transforms and reprojecting vectors and rasters

A practical guide to coordinate reference systems in Python with pyproj, GeoPandas and rasterio, tested on real Greater Manchester data. Covers EPSG codes, WGS 84 vs British National Grid (EPSG:27700), the always_xy axis-order trap, OSTN15 vs Helmert datum shifts checked against 13,187 NaPTAN bus stops, measured area and distance errors in the wrong CRS, and reprojecting a GeoDataFrame and a Copernicus DEM raster.
