I have been using a gdal python binary with python 2.4.1 on Windows XP, but I was forced to upgrade to 2.5.1 python. I have seen a couple postings in the last few months (gdal discussion list) on this topic and I was curious if anyone has built gdal binaries for python 2.5.1?<br><br>Is this possible without making a lot of changes to gdal and is numeric still required or has gdal switched over to numpy entirely? <br><br>What version of VS would be required?<br><br> I think python 2.5.1 is still compiled with VS2003, which I ran into numerous problems, which are explained below. I have not compiled python or gdal before so I am not sure I can do this easily myself especially if a lot of modifications are required.
<br><br>The reason I had to upgrade was because I am using scipy weave.inline to apply algorithms to raster datasets. GDAL converts the raster datasets to arrays, but python is extremely slow as soon as I start nesting loops such as a large kernel within the loop of each target cell. I found documentation that shows this method is much faster and could save me weeks of processing my datasets. However, I was unsuccessful at using scipy weave with 2.4 and VS2003/VS2005. I was successful using scipy weave with python 2.5.1 and mingw. Therefore, I upgraded. But now I can't get GDAL to work under python 2.5.1.<br><br>Can anyone provide some suggestions on what I might do? <br><br>Are there adequate documents that may help me compile gdal using the same compiler that was used to compile the binaries of python?<br><br>Does anyone know what compiler was used for python 2.5.1?<br><br>Thank you for your comments,<br>Michael<br><br></div></div><br>
