[gdal-dev] Problem with GDAL Python bindings and ECW format under Windows

[Alain Cembro]

Hello list,
I have written a Python program to create ECW files. It is working fine under Linux, but not under Windows XP.
I have installed :
- Python 2.6.6 (the official version)
- gdal-18-1500-core.msi
- gdal-18-1500-ecw.msi
- GDAL-1.8.0.win32-py2.6.exe
I downloaded the last three files at http://vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk/

GDAL is working :
- gdalinfo lists the ECW format as available (rw).
- I can create ECW files with gdal_translate.

But in a Python console, osgeo.gdal.getDriverByName("ECW") return None.
Is it a known problem, or is there something wrong in my installation ?

Thanks for any help.
