[Qgis-user] Python Console and python scripts geoprocessing in QGIS

Yes, I was looking at your fTools python code before and I wander how
can I use it for python scripting. Hence, I ask this question about
geoprocessing in QGIS using python.

I am interested in joining table functionability and creating a new
shapefile of it (your fTools function can do this already) and then
produce several thematic maps one go. I managed to do this type
geoprocesssing  in R geo.

I really hope one day we can use geoprocessing script in QGIS similar
to what ArcGIS is doing now. I hope probably later on, if you have the
time you can show us this functionality of ftools in python scripting.

Thanks.
