GeoScript looks like a neat effort to leverage GeoTools into Python (an increasingly widely used language for GIS scripting) and JavaScript.
I love this for JavaScript, and I wonder how this relates to the other Python work out there (like Shapely and WorldMill); Sean?

Thanks for the comments Tom. We are ready to cut a 1.0 release for GeoScript and are putting together a few demo applications with it first. On the JavaScript side, this is server side scripting (see http://commonjs.org/) – the idea is to allow for end-to-end JavaScript mapping applications (with client side interaction and geoprocessing jobs handled in the same language). GeoScript of any flavor is also useful for common data munging tasks.
Keep an eye out for more full-fledged examples soon.

One of the goals of geoscript is to provide a nice easy to use layer on top of geotools and jts in the same way shapley and wordmill do for geos, gdal, etc. The api design is very much inspired by shapely. It is very much my hope that geoscript receives a “blessing” from the python geo community and possibly even leads to collaboration on api design.

I found out geoscript is jython, python(cpython). So you can’t use it inside python, no mix and much with other python packages in this case.
I hope geoscript can be run inside python in the future.

Sorry. It should read ‘jython, not python (cpython)’.
