I've asked this question several times on stackoverflow and irc between #qgis and #postgis and I also tried to code it or implement it my self in postgis with no real answer.
Using programming (most preferably python), I'd like to draw a line from a point layer, to its projection on the nearest line of a line or polygon layer.
As of now most of my data is in ESRI's shape and postgis formats; however, I'd rather stay away from a postgis solution as I'm predominantly a shp + qgis user.
An ideal solution would be to implement GDAL/OGR with python or similar libraries

- Using the GDAL/OGR libraries where should I start? would it be possible to give a solution plan?
- Can I use NetworkX to do the nearest neighbor analysis?
- Is this actually possible?
