[FWTools] Working with shapefile using python binding

[Moreau, Jean-Sebastien]

Hi list!

I'm trying to work with some shapeFiles using the python binding library.
Unfortunately, when I run the following commands in python I get this error
message:

>>>import ogr
>>>driver=ogr.GetDriverByName('ESRI ShapeFile')
Unexpected Error
Type: ogr.OGRError
Description: Unable to find ogr.Driver named "ESRI ShapeFile".

Traceback:

	File	:	ogr.py
	line number:	365
	function	:	GetDriverByName
	line:		raise OGRError, 'Unable to find ogr.Driver named
"%s" . ' % name

I thought I could use shapefile with this package. Am I doing something
wrong?
I've install the binary windows package on my windows 2000 computer. 

Thanks in advance!
