Lucky you! I just found some free software for your work:

# QGIS
* https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/QGIS
* "qgis" package.
* See "PySHP" or ""Gpsmanshp"" if you want support for ESRI's Shapefiles
(SHP file format).

# GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System)
* https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/GRASS
* "grass" package.
* See "PySHP" or ""Gpsmanshp"" if you want support for ESRI's Shapefiles
(SHP file format).

# Thuban
* https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Thuban
* "thuban" package.
* See "PySHP" or ""Gpsmanshp"" if you want support for ESRI's Shapefiles
(SHP file format).

# PySHP
* Is perhaps useless without one of the first three packages.
* I recommend you to use this as an one-way support only (that is, only
for importing/opening SHP files), not for saving using SHP files,
because it just passes society's dependency on non-free software formats
forward for your mates.
* https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Pyshp
* "python-pyshp" package.

# Gpsmanshp
* Is perhaps useless without one of the first three packages.
* I recommend you to use this as an one-way support only (that is, only
for importing/opening SHP files), not for saving using SHP files,
because it just passes society's dependency on non-free software formats

* "gpsmanshp" package.
