Python plays a central role in the ArcGIS experience. This session will take you from the basics of Python and running geoprocessing tools and functionality to creating your own tools using Python. New Python features in ArcGIS 10, including ArcPy, Esri's new Python site package, will be highlighted along with new map automation and map algebra functionality. The Python window, a new embedded Python interpreter within ArcGIS, will also be discussed, and demonstrations will be used to illustrate the techniques and best practices that should be implemented within this framework.
