[Gdal-dev] Is there any work on the python wrapper

[Kevin Ruland]

Howard,

Thanks much for this information.  My question was of course leading and 
I too have been mucking about the innards altough in a completely 
different way.  I am attempting to get GDAL to work correctly with 
Numarray arrays.  I have something working now, but it isn't pretty, and 
it isn't tied in well with the rest of the GDAL bindings.
