= 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 [http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup-testing.exe installer] for that repository
