Python Programming

Python is a powerful general purpose programming language developed in 1991 to let you work more quickly by automating tasks.  Its ease of code readability emphasizes it design philosophy and it has a large standard library to work from.  Being able to run on multiple platforms along with it being a a free open source tool greatly enhances its appeal. 
It features a dynamic type system that is checked as a run-time instead of at compile-time.  This speeds up the verification process. As a dynamic language it can be used as a scripting language or as a standalone executable program using third-party tools.
This tool will be very useful in automating task that have to be performed multiple times such as setting up buffer zones around features for analysis.
