<div>Hi all, </div>
<div>I'm just playing around with some ideas at the moment, so I'm not sure if this will make sense...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is it possible to use a python script to add a layer to an existing mapfile?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have an appliaction that sends a request to mapserver for a map, but I want to be able to add a related shape to the map if the user asks for it. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm trying to avoid re-writing all the mapfiles to allow for this (there are 30ish)...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any help or direction would be appreciated, </div>
