[gdal-dev] print throw a SyntaxError with Python 2.6

[Even Rouault]

Gilles,

Yes this is a known regression of GDAL 1.7.0. See 
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3441 that contains the fix. You can grab a 
working version of gdal_retile.py from latest gdal-svn-stable archive from 
http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/daily/

Best regards,

Even
