User: give me a function which segments a shapely linestring so that it does not cross the -180 to 180 line, the function should return a multilinestring

Assistant: To segment a `Shapely` `LineString` into multiple segments so that it does not cross the -180 to 180-degree line, you can create a function. Below is a Python function that takes a `LineString` as input, processes it, and returns a `MultiLineString` where any segments crossing the specified longitude limits are split accordingly.

You'll need the `Shapely` library to use the code below. If you don't have it installed, you can do so using `pip install shapely`.

Here's the code for the function:

```python
from shapely.geometry import LineString, MultiLineString

def segment_linestring(line):
    coordinates = list(line.coords)
    segments = []
    current_segment = [coordinates[0]]

    for i in range(1, len(coordinates)):
        prev_x = coordinates[i - 1][0]
        curr_x = coordinates[i][0]

        # Check for crossing the -180/180 line
        if (prev_x > 0 and curr_x < -180) or (prev_x < -180 and curr_x > 0):
            # Wrap the coordinates
            if prev_x > 0:
                # Create segment up to 180
                partial_segment = current_segment + [(180, coordinates[i - 1][1])]
                segments.append(LineString(partial_segment))
                current_segment = [(180, coordinates[i - 1][1])]  # Start new segment from 180
            
            if curr_x < -180:
                # Create segment from -180
                current_segment.append((-180, coordinates[i][1]))
                segments.append(LineString(current_segment))
                current_segment = [(-180, coordinates[i][1])]  # Start new segment from -180
        current_segment.append(coordinates[i])

    # Add the last segment
    if current_segment:
        segments.append(LineString(current_segment))

    return MultiLineString(segments)

# Example usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
    line = LineString([(-170, 0), (-160, 0), (170, 1)])
    segmented_line = segment_linestring(line)
    print(segmented_line)
```

### Explanation

1. **Input**: The function `segment_linestring` takes a `LineString` as input.
2. **Processing**: It iterates through the coordinates of the input line:
   - It checks for longitude crossings using conditions.
   - When a crossing is detected, it creates segments and starts a new one as needed.
3. **Output**: Finally, the function returns a `MultiLineString` containing the segments.

### Example Usage

In the example usage, the input `LineString` crosses the -180/180 degree line, and the output will show how it is segmented accordingly. Adjust the example as needed to test with different lines!
User: NotImplementedError: Sub-geometries may have coordinate sequences, but multi-part geometries do not
Assistant: It seems that the error you're encountering is due to the way the geometries are being constructed and returned. The error message you received indicates that the code is trying to handle multi-part geometries inappropriately. 

To resolve this issue, we need to ensure that we're correctly encapsulating the coordinates and creating the segments. Below is an updated version of the function that properly segments the `LineString` into `MultiLineString` without encountering issues related to coordinate sequences.

Here's the corrected code:

```python
from shapely.geometry import LineString, MultiLineString

def segment_linestring(line):
    coordinates = list(line.coords)
    segments = []
    current_segment = [coordinates[0]]

    for i in range(1, len(coordinates)):
        prev_x = coordinates[i - 1][0]
        curr_x = coordinates[i][0]

        # Check for crossing the 180/-180 line
        if (prev_x > 0 and curr_x < -180):
            # Split at the -180 line
            current_segment.append((-180, coordinates[i][1]))  # finish current segment at -180
            segments.append(LineString(current_segment))          # save the segment
            current_segment = [(-180, coordinates[i][1])]        # start new segment at -180
        elif (prev_x < 0 and curr_x > 180):
            # Split at the 180 line
            current_segment.append((180, coordinates[i][1]))    # finish current segment at 180
            segments.append(LineString(current_segment))          # save the segment
            current_segment = [(180, coordinates[i][1])]         # start new segment at 180
        else:
            # No crossing, just add the point to the current segment
            current_segment.append(coordinates[i])

    # Add the last segment if exists
    if current_segment:
        segments.append(LineString(current_segment))

    return MultiLineString(segments)

# Example usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
    line = LineString([(-170, 0), (-160, 0), (170, 1)])
    segmented_line = segment_linestring(line)
    print(segmented_line)
```

### Key Changes

1. **Handling Crossings**: The function checks whether to add a point to the current segment or split the segment when the current point crosses the -180 or 180 degree lines. We correctly adjusted the endpoints of the segments based on crossing, making sure to construct new `LineString` objects properly.
  
2. **Coordinates Handling**: Instead of wrapping coordinates inappropriately, the segments are carefully built by checking conditions logically, and we ensure to summon a new segment only when needed.

### Testing

You can test the corrected function with different `LineString` inputs to ensure it correctly handles various longitudinal crossings. Let me know if you need any more help or further clarification!
User: my bad, the function should take the input as a multilinestring
