Yes to workshop, no to presentation. I've written some python versions of 2D geometric algorithms, not many. They're very simple to enable a young person to understand the movement & sweep of the data in creating a shape, intersecting two shapes, etc. The data structures/objects used are very 'shallow' and uncomplicated. But I'd love to expand on this to complete a lib2geom-type package for those who have neither time nor background to untie the gordian knot of geometric mathematics.
