= GDAL/OGR 1.7 Python Bindings and Scripts =

 * Bindings are provided as modules osgeo.gdal, osgeo.ogr, and osgeo.osr. 
 * The bindings include numpy support, and are the GDAL/OGR "next generation" (modern) bindings.
 * More info at: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/GdalOgrInPython
 * Installed in ''osgeo4w''\apps\gdal-17\pymod
 * It is necessary to run the '''gdal17.bat''' script to prepare the environment to use this version of the bindings in an OSGeo4W Shell.
 * The standard scripts, like rgb2pct.py, are placed in ''osgeo4w''\apps\gdal-17\bin and include .bat wrapper scripts.  So, for instance, rgb2pct.py should be involved as "rgb2pct" at the commandline.
