[Fischer, Brian]

Thanks Jeff!  I upgraded to Python 2.5.1 and Python Mapscript works
again.

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.
