<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>The standard cry for help. I am
interested in using MapServer with Python. I see there are
examples of Python scripts but do I need to build Map server a special way or
install a separate Python module (import mapscript) ? From what I
understand MapServer is being used in my office by some others using
Perl but I can not get a hold of them to find out more. I
have Python 2.4 installed on a Linux system and I use it, but not sure how to
hook into MapServer.</FONT></DIV>
