<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm building GDAL right now --with-python option enabled; I thought the same as you suggested... but now I'm trying build GDAL without python installed, because the last option enables python bindings, and, I think, this feature would not require python installed; furthermore, configure tells that the old python support is deprecated and suggests (as I understood) to enable python bindings instead.</FONT></DIV>
