Hi there,

I have a point dbf with an attributes for decimal LAT & LONG. I need to 
calculate the UTM coordinates and Zone for each point. I've found two 
python libraries for doing this[*], but I think gdal/ogr already has all 
this at hand (and I have it installed already). Can someone give me some 
pointers on how to get started with this? Where do I start reading?

[*] http://pygps.org/, http://starship.python.net/crew/jhauser/Gproj.html

thanks!
