+'''Python bindings :'''
+
+If you use the regular Python Windows binaries, you need to edit $PYTHON_ROOT\lib\distutils\ccompiler.py (at least true for Python 2.7) and change the "_default_compilers" mapping as following, in order GCC to be used instead of MSVC when building the GDAL Python bindings :
+
+{{{
+_default_compilers = (
+
+    # Platform string mappings
+
+    # on a cygwin built python we can use gcc like an ordinary UNIXish
+    # compiler
+    ('cygwin.*', 'unix'),
+    ('os2emx', 'emx'),
+
+    # OS name mappings
+    ('posix', 'unix'),
+        
+    # HACK for using mingw GCC
+    ('nt', 'mingw32'),
+    #('nt', 'msvc'),
+
+    )
+}}}
