[PyKDE] Python based GIS application

[Gerard Vermeulen]

Do you know GRASS? See http://grass.baylor.edu/

As far as I understand it is a set of command line programs, glued
together by Tcl-Tk. Maybe it does the job for you. You may consider
to replace the Tcl-Tk interface by PyQt.

There is a precompiled binary for Windows, too, if you need it.

I do not use GRASS: if one has to believe the rumors is as
powerful as any commercial program, and it is free (see 
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/18/1815234 why the
US has choosen proprietary stuff instead of GRASS for the
renewal -- or colonolization? --  of post-Sadam Iraq).
