AFAIK, shape files are files with geospatial information used by ESRI 
(http://www.esri.com/) products (and others). Features are the objects 
in the geospatial database (roads, bridges, buildings, ...) and the 
features have attributes and the attributes have values (e.g. a road may 
have an attribute 'width' with a value '10 m').

But I still can't answer the question. I don't even know if there's a 
way for python to read shape files. Maybe there's something to be found 
at http://www.freegis.org/ or http://www.opensourcegis.org/.
