Sean, thanks.  On gispython.org, I see a blog post

http://gispython.org/2009/10/unofficial-python-gis-sig-launched-2/

saying "Informal Python GIS SIG launched".  Could you point me to
that SIG and its mailing lists (if this isn't it)?

OK.  What would be a good standard format to start with?

Mapnik looks great (aside from relying on scons to build), especially
this:

http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/XMLGettingStarted#WorldPopulationXML

which looks like it could be adapted to my problem.
