How can I add points to Polygons which share an edge in shapely?

Question

I have two shapes which are adjacent as in image A below. How can I add the left-hand red point to the blue polygon ( poly1 ) and the right-hand red point to the grey polygon ( poly2 )? The idea is that both shapes will then share a line segment defined by those two points.

A)

I can find the LineString which is the intersection by calling poly1.intersection(poly2) but I don't know how to add the missing point or points (as would be required in the situation below in image B).

B)

Answer 1

I think the correct answer is to use union , although if there is anything I'm missing I'd be happy to hear it.

poly1 = wkt.loads("POLYGON((1 1,2 1,2 2,1 2,1 1))")
poly2 = wkt.loads("POLYGON((1.5 2,2.5 2,2.5 3,1.5 3,1.5 2))")

shared_line = poly1.intersection(poly2)
poly1 = poly1.union(shared_line)
poly2 = poly2.union(shared_line)
