GIS 4102: GIS Programming Module 1

Module 1: Introducing Python

This week’s assignment covered the introduction to Python, IDLE and PythonWin.  In PythonWin we reviewed and ran the CreateModuleFolders scripts.  The script created twelve (12) folders with several subfolders (Data, Results, Scripts) in the S:\GISProgramming folder. 

Running the script was simple.  I clicked on the “Run” icon, but there are several other ways to run the script such as File Menu > Run, Control Key –R, or simply doubly clicking on the script file.  The script ran and it returned a process complete message as stated in the script.  The 12 folders and sub-folders were created.

Below is a screen shot of the twelve folders created by the script for my S: drive.
