2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 A Guide to the Python Universe for Esri Users Track: Application Development Author(s): Howard Butler ArcGIS 9 will provide scripting capabilities with the Geoprocessing Framework. This will allow scripting languages like Python to automate tasks with ArcGIS. Python has historically provided many other opportunities for scripting GIS, however. This paper describes an overview of the GIS tools available for use scripting with Python. Functionality such as working with grids, image manipulation, reading and writing shapefiles, delivering maps to the Web, and communicating with the Microsoft TerraServer are described. An overview will give the reader more tools in his/her toolbox to integrate with existing software.
