Ice storm in PDX on 2004.1.15 caused us to cancel Saturday Academy classes across the board. I was going to (and will, next time) show how Python is used to support the generation of VRML files using these utilities: http://packinon.sourceforge.net/
Since this is a Win2000 lab, we're able to use Cortona, a top notch freeware VRML viewer. AFAIK, Linuxworld lags, in terms of having state-of-the-art VRML plugins. I wish Cortona'd port theirs, even if they kept it closed source. Another item on my calendar: two 1.5 hr Python classes for a GIS company, Double Tree hotel, Lloyd Center, PDX, March 28. I'll need to demo some of the win32all stuff, e.g. using the ADO API to pull a RecordSet from MSFT Access. Fortunately, this stuff is all well documented and easy to show. Mostly, I'll just be going over core Python, using 2.4.x on WinXP (I like to set up a shell and an importable/reloadable code window side by side, and do live interactions -- more interesting than PowerPoint IMO).
