[gdal-dev] ReadAsArray with Windows 7

[Frank Warmerdam]

Jimmy,

Visit http://osgeo4w.osgeo.org/ and follow the instructions.
You will need to go through "advanced install" and ensure
the "gdal-python" package is selected for installation.

After it completes you should have an OSGeo4W shell icon on
your desktop.  You can launch that and from within that shell
you should have a python interpreter available which will find
the GDAL/OGR Python bindings.  So you could do something like:

  python your.py

If the problem with your script persists when using the OSGeo4W
python environment then I should be able to reproduce it with a
suitable bug report.  If it does not happen with OSGeo4W then
the issue likely relates to Tamas's use of SWIG version for the
python bindings, or possibly a mismatch between the version of
Python he built for, and the version you are running.

(or something else...)

Best regards,
