Packages requiring python

It's time to upgrade the python distributed with o4w to the current stable upstream release in the 2.x series, namely 2.7 (ticket #219). To that end here is a list of packages which rely on python, and their current status with regard to being py2.7 ready.

Please update the chart as needed.

Package notes

natgrid: might be ready with simple repackaging (change name of folder). Drop 'natgrid' folder from package archive into c:\python27\...\site-packages and it passes simple import natgrid test. Dunno enough about it's functions to test further.

Testing repository

• There is a seperate repository on ​http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/testing/ to add testing packages.
• It contains the hardlinked packages from the original repository plus the already updated package + a separate setup.ini.
• That setup.ini is updatable through upload.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/osgeo4w-regen-testing.sh.
• There also is a separate ​installer for that repository
