Assignment: Using External Libraries

1. External Libraries and Programs

Create a script that accesses one or more external libraries that is not part of the core Python libraries and make it do something we have not yet done in class. You can access the library either through an "import" or by launching a sub-process. The external libraries can be NumPy, MatPlotLib, SciPy, R or another one of your choosing. The script can be a command line program or an ArcGIS tool. The script should call at least 6 functions in the external library and be packaged for others to use (i.e. appropriate documentation for installation and use). While you could write something fairly small for this project, remember that you are going to be graded on how much effort you put into the assignment in a very similar way to how you will be graded on your final projects.

Turn-in:

• A Python script to execute at least 6 functions from an external package or program.
• Documentation and any other supporting materials to make it easy for someone else to use the script.
