I am reading a shapefile for a pipeline and what I've noticed is that if I just draw a line from one point to the next (in the order I read them), there will be points where the line terminates, and the next point is really a new line - but I can't see any way to tell where those points are... How does that work?

Can you expand upon your question to include code samples, screenshots, sample data, etc? Also please try to describe the problem you are having more clearly, it's a bit difficult to follow. – blah238 Oct 28 '12 at 23:32
is there a field in the shapefile that has a pipeline segment number? – mhoran_psprep Oct 29 '12 at 12:46
Not to sure how to accomplish this, but due to your question I discovered pyshp which is awesome! – Cody Brown Oct 29 '12 at 19:16
