[Qgis-user] python(3) script to calculate latitude longitude values from (ESRI) shape file

[Stephen Kirby]

Nyall and Nicholas (earlier) and qgis list --

This is fantastic information.  I'm going to dive in and see what I can
discover.  Automatic conversion of the model to Python script is definitely
neat! Really appreciate this awesome forum and the availability of QGIS!

Best to all,
Steve
