[gdal-dev] Python documentation help

[Lucena, Ivan]

Chris,

I guess that Howard will be one to answer that. I had intentionally 
generated the package for NG Python.

If you look at the GDAL Python scripts utilities (ex.: "pct2rgb.py") it 
literally 'tries' how do import gdal:

#######################
try:
     from osgeo import gdal
     gdal.TermProgress = gdal.TermProgress_nocb
except ImportError:
     import gdal
#######################

Best regards,

Ivan
