[mapserver-users] python scripting and layers

[Jessica Clarke]

Hi all, 
I'm just playing around with some ideas at the moment, so I'm not sure
if this will make sense...
 
Is it possible to use a python script to add a layer to an existing
mapfile?
 
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. 
 
I'm trying to avoid re-writing all the mapfiles to allow for this
(there are 30ish)...
 
Any help or direction would be appreciated,  
Jess
