Randomly sampling from geopandas dataframe

[kevalshah90]

This is probably not an issue with the library - I was wondering if the community has any idea about https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/294394/randomly-sample-from-geopandas-dataframe-in-python? Thanks!

I know pysal/pointpats does this, but we may need to update our documentation for getting there from geopandas.

I'll have to take a look, but I know a few random sampling methods are implemented there by my colleagues.

won't gdf.sample be sufficient?

Ah sorry got it wrong from the name;
there is a similar question on the same StackExchange.
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/207731/how-to-generate-random-coordinates-in-a-multipolygon-in-python

but probably there should be a faster way (numba/cython + quadtree?)
