rule build_shapes

[milyas009]

In PyPSA-earth while executing the "Rule build_shapes" for any other countries, the output still contain "resources/shapes/africa_shape.geojson". May be just a naming mistake?

output: resources/shapes/country_shapes.geojson, resources/shapes/offshore_shapes.geojson, **resources/shapes/africa_shape.geojson**, resources/shapes/gadm_shapes.geojson
    log: logs/build_shapes.log

Thanks @milyas009 :D
The content of africa_shape.geojson always depends on the countries selected in the workflow.
For example, if you choose TH, then the content will be TH.
We agree that the choice of the name "africa_shape" is misleading and indeed it would be great to have a PR that proposes a revision of its naming to something like "region_shape" or alike that is country/continent neutral.
Proposals are welcome :)

The expected changes related to the file "Snakefile" in particular, changing all references to "africa_shape" in the snakefile, such as:

pypsa-earth/Snakefile

Line 186 in b64623d

africa_shape="resources/" + RDIR + "shapes/africa_shape.geojson",

Would you like to try? :)
