[gdal-dev] installing GDAL for pythonwin: can import and use gdal, but not gdal_translate

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

ytrapaet,

gdal_translate is an executable program. You can use it directly from the
command line. Refer to http://www.gdal.org/gdal_utilities.html for python
scripts and other programs. Python scripts are indicated by .py extension.
