For some reason it was commented out, and the author didn't say why:

pip install git+https://github.com/abey79/vsketch#egg=vsketch
Especially if you're trying to clip your entire map to some boundary, rendering the ocean is hard. https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet/issues/32 has some examples of "flooded" maps when the heuristics get the inversion wrong. https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet/blob/9761373c4b215485... is my incomplete attempt to deal with these partial multipolygons.
There are tools to do that sort of feature generalization. https://github.com/migurski/Skeletron is one that comes to mind.
I don't know about a discussion, but i know a lot of people are moving to plotly [1] or seaborn [2] as they are prettier and more intuitive.
