Abstract

Python Organization: Making Your Library of Scripts Accessible
Track: Analysis and Geoprocessing
Authors: James Graham, Kendell Joseph

This presentation outlines successful strategies for keeping a library of Python scripts organized and available for everyone. Often, businesses or organizations have a very ill-defined approach to managing and documenting spatial tools and automated scripts. Lots of work is poured into the creation of a Python script, but often they become siloed within a single-user's domain. We will show some techniques used at TXDOT which helped us centralize our repository of scripts. Further, we will demonstrate useful documentation strategies which enabled those who are new to python to harness the power of advanced python scripts.
