[gdal-dev] New OGR driver for DB2 Spatial support

[David Adler]

Thank you for the quick response.

I've not used Python before so I'm stumbling getting the environment to 
work. Python 2.7 is installed and I am running from the autotest 
directory. It isn't obvious to me how the PYTHONPATH variable is 
supposed to be set, but I pointed it to the python directory in the gdal 
installation.

run_all.py is failing with the following:

*E:\dwacode\gdal\gdalautotest-2.0.1>set 
PYTHONPATH=e:\dwacode\gdal\swig\python

E:\dwacode\gdal\gdalautotest-2.0.1>python run_all.py -l
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "run_all.py", line 37, in <module>
     import gdaltest
   File "pymod\gdaltest.py", line 36, in <module>
     from osgeo import gdal
   File "e:\dwacode\gdal\swig\python\osgeo\__init__.py", line 21, in 
<module>
     _gdal = swig_import_helper()
   File "e:\dwacode\gdal\swig\python\osgeo\__init__.py", line 13, in 
swig_import_
helper
     import _gdal
ImportError: No module named _gdal*
