drawing polygons in Google Earth using wxpython

...i am working on my graduation project and i need to draw some
polygons in Google Earth map automatically using python so any one was
subjected to something like that or have a solution plz respond
ASAP ...given that i was able to open Google Earth from python and
focus on a certain point and also i have no previous background with
using kml....thanks in advance

There are two options:

1) use some sort of inter-application AP
I that google earth has -- and I don't know if one even exists.

2) generate some KML. It's not that tricky really. I"d look at the KML docs, and/or find a sample KML file similar to what you want. Then use that to make a template and fill in your data. You can do that more or less by hand, or with a template engine -- I've done it with Mako -- it' pretty straight forward.

IF you want icons and stuff, then you'll need to package them up in a kmz file -- these can be written easily with Python's zip module.

Note that none of the is wxPython specific.
