Is there a function like Postgis ST_Line_Interpolate_Point in GeoPandas?

3Geopandas uses Shapely that has an Interpolate method. – klewis Sep 25 '17 at 15:39

As was mentioned by @klewis, Shapely methods can be used in GeoPandas. Shapely has the interpolate method which will
Return a point at the specified distance along a linear geometric object.
It also has the normalized argument.
If the normalized arg is
True, the distance will be interpreted as a fraction of the geometric object’s length.
This is probably the most analogous function to ST_Line_Interpolate_Point which
Returns a point interpolated along a line. Second argument is a float8 between 0 and 1 representing fraction of total length of linestring the point has to be located.
