Python Shapefile
  • bbox: If the shape type contains multiple points this tuple describes the upper left (x,y) coordinate and lower right corner coordinate creating a complete box around the points. If the shapeType is a Null (shapeType == 0) then an AttributeError is raise
ESRI Shapefile
The Bounding Box is stored in the order Xmin, Ymin, Xmax, Ymax.

Should the pyshp description state?

CURRENT:
 upper left (x,y) coordinate and lower right 
PROPOSED:
 lower left (x,y) coordinate and upper right corner  

Thank you for a great module.

Whoa! Good catch. I'll fix that in all the docs.
