   not easily or quickly. i tried to get a grip 
on GIS and found it a huge domain with a lot 
of proprietary software. given the timeframe, 
i gave up on that and taught a straight intro 
to python emphasizing the features that 
distinguish python from other, older 
programming languages. 
   the leading proprietary vendor, ESRI, which 
makes ArcGIS, has recently changed from Visual 
BASIC to Python, interestingly. They have a 
CD that allows 60 days trial use, though for 
windows only.
