Luca,

I don't know.  My understanding is that the "stock" python 2.5 binaries
depend on Visual Studio 2005 and I'm not keen to transition FWTools to
this unnecessarily.

This won't happen till I migrate to OpenEV 2.  I can't imagine that
happening for several months, at best.

You can build GDAL/OGR normally, updating the nmake.opt file to refer
to your python installation.   But you won't be able to mix the result
with the rest of FWTools.

Best regards,
