[mapserver-users] Problem with Python Mapscript / Projection (MS4W)

[Christian Jauvin]

Hi,

In fact I'm using the MS4W distribution of MapServer, so it runs on
Windows. The EPSG lookup file is there and everything seems fine, but
still this nagging bug persists.. I should add that I tried loading
the exact same mapfile from PHP/Mapscript, and it runs fine. The
problem is specific to Python/Mapscript. Any other idea?

Christian
