[FWTools] RE: FWTools Digest, Vol 46, Issue 8

[Vince Ulfig]

Ah yes.  I had set enough environment variables for the utilities,
but hadn't set enough for the python bindings,
and I forgot about that.

Thank you so much.  I'm sorry to have bothered you with this triviality.

Vince,

FWTools already includes python bindings which you could use.  If you
want to use the pypi bindings then they depend on the standard GDAL
binaries which you have found.  It is possible to mix these standard
DLLs into FWTools but there is some risk of conflicts.  I would generally
suggest you keep them separate.

Best regards,
