Hi,  
Can anyone tell me if the python 3 Integration in dynamo is compatible with the Shapely module?

It looks like it - best to give it a shot and see if you get stuck.

I need to install python 3 first I think. As I understand correctly it is still beta and needs to be installed via Anaconda.  
Is that correct?

Dynamo 2.8+ should have Python 3 support. I recommend you download and unzip Dynamo Sandbox 2.10 from [https://dynamobuilds.com/](https://dynamobuilds.com/) to test with.
