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.
