[FWTools] Question to python-tools in Windows 7

[Dr. Kai Behncke]

Dear list,

I have got a question how to run the python-scripts in the Fwtools/bin-directory.

I`m working an Windows 7 and I use Python2.6 (out of ArcGIS) (to work with python-scripting in that GIS).

If I e.g. run:

C:\Program Files (x86)\FWTools2.4.7\bin\gdal_merge.py

I get "    import _gdal
ImportError: No module named _gdal".

Has anybody a hint how to solve that problem?
Could it help to copy the python-modules in the specific directory of Python26 or is it possible somehow to use the pyton-version of fwtools?



Thank you very much, Kai
