The objective of this post is to save a GeoJSON feature collected from the web to an image file, and was inspired by the Shapely manual. This will be done using Windows, Python 2.5 (although 2.6 should be almost exactly the same steps), and some additional Python packages. This example uses GeoJSON data from a CloudMade geocoding service.
The greatest difficulty when trying to do things in Python is getting the right packages to match your Python version, and making sure all the package dependencies are in place.
