Geoprocessing
ESRI
Geoprocessing with ESRI COM dispatch is so slow on the machine I have here that I am thinking it's useless to me. Anyway here are some very useful comments

Open source
How about geoprocessing with OGR/GDAL? Will that do it for me?
Getting Python 2.4 and GDAL without disrupting the ESRI installation... See also Howard Butler's site.
Not good enough: FWtools installs a funky GUI called OpenEV_FW and a shell environment. It comes with python 2.3.4 which is old but better than ESRI's 2.1 It does NOT include the pythonwin IDE. How INCORNVENIENT!
23-Aug-2006 Python+OGR probably not worth messing with right now. From the OGR site: The Python API isn't really well documented at this time, but parallels the C/C++ APIs. The interface classes can be browsed in the pymod/ogr.py (simple features) and pymod/osr.py (coordinate systems) python modules. The pymod/samples/assemblepoly.py sample script is one demonstration of using the python API.
