We should refactor server.py ASAP to not use copyrighted code (either write our own or find an open source version).

at min throw out the usage options from the CLI

Right now, we have a mixture of .py files using either spaces or tabs depending on who originally created them. While python doesn't mind this, so long as you're consistent within the same file, it would be nice to decide on a standard so we don't have to keep switching editors back and forth.

My vote is for spaces. I find them easier to work with, and according to the python style guide http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ they are much preferred over tabs. I would, however, like to get other people's opinions on this, particularly skykooler's as he's the other main python dev, before I go around changing everything.

Let me know what you guys think in the comments.

Null data should be differentiated from "low" values. See #FLAG in perl code.

Consider transparency.

The image the perl .png renderer produces is tall and thin instead of short and wide

When you click on the OL map, it will find points in the middle of oceans but not on land masses. However, the visualization Amir did shows the points seem to correspond directly to land masses.

It would be nice if we could import the various shell scripts we have to python. One of the eventual goals of this project is porting it to a Windows/ArcGIS environment, which means we'll probably have to do this eventually anyway. In the meantime, it will be much easier to use if everything is in the same language.
