[Tutor] theory: geography and python

[Nathan Smith]

Hi folks,


This is more of a theory based discussion topic (with luck). Off and on 
I've been considering geography in python for a while, more 
specifically, how you would go about positioning countries and borders.


Countries are, by their nature, rarely nice squares, so you could hardly 
say:

England=(left lat, right lat)

ireland = (left lat, right lat).


Is there an industry standard for this sort of thing to get the shapes 
of countries semi accurate in terms of coordinates and borders? What 
sources should be looked at?


Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Nathan
