[gdal-dev] Installation prefix for Python bindings on MacOSX ?

[Antonio Valentino]

Hi Even, hi William,
I have just opened a new PR on github (https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/68).
It should restore the old behavior if the standard system interpreted is used on OSX.
It should also work with homebrew etc. that uses the classic unix schema for python packages installation.

Please let me know if it work for you.


cheers
