Dear Maintainer,

import geopandas
results in the following warning:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pyproj/__init__.py:91: UserWarning: Valid PROJ data directory not found. Either set the path using the environmental variable PROJ_LIB or with `pyproj.datadir.set_data_dir`.
  warnings.warn(str(err))

If I create a new pythonenv and install geopandas there, e.g.:

python3 -m venv /path/to/new/env
source /path/to/new/env/bin/activate
pip install geopandas

then I can import geopandas without the warning.

I'm new to geopandas, just trying to work through some tutorials,
so I'm not sure yet how often this proj dir will be needed or how
important it is; the cartopy tutorial still works without it (I
guess it's getting its projections from cartopy instead of
geopandas).

 >>> import pyproj
 >>> pyproj.datadir.get_data_dir()
'/usr/share/proj'


geopandas works too:

 >>> import geopandas
 >>> from geopandas.tools._show_versions import show_versions
 >>> show_versions()

You're right. I tried it in a totally clean environment with no
virtualenvs and I don't get the warning. I must have something
in my regular venv that's interfering.

Sorry for the bogus bug report!
