A continuación se muestra una forma de acceder a las coordenadas de latitud y longitud del archivo de forma ESRI, entre otros bits de información, como referencia espacial, atributos de campo, valores de campo, etc., utilizando Python. El siguiente código solo funciona para polígonos y puntos (porque no he podido escribir el código para polilíneas). Básicamente, improvisé algunos códigos que encontré dispersos por ArcGIS Desktop Help 9.3, agregué algunos de los míos y los reuní en una función. Fue escrito con ArcGIS 9.3. Debería poder pasar un archivo de forma de polígono o un archivo de forma de punto y la lógica lo dirigirá en consecuencia.
