[ms4w-users] python mapscript problem with MS4W 2.2.7

[Jeff McKenna]

Python support was upgraded to 2.5 in MS4W 2.2.7 (this was noted in
the announcement).  I imagine the contributed python documentation has
to be updated according (I will attempt to do so).  Please try python
2.5.x with your tests.
