[gdal-dev] gdal-python and py2exe - MapTiler.org

[Simon Lyngby Kokkendorff]

Hi Klokan and Chris,

  Thanks for your replys. I had a feeling, that it had to do with setting up
the env. variables properly from within the script. I will have a closer
look at MapTiler, which looks great, and try to figure things out! The
application I am doing is designed for surveyors who want to locate
benchmarks while doing field work.

   Best,
   Simon
