[gdal-dev] The proper way to call gdal "scripts" on Windows?

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

For what I know 
C:\>gdal_calc 
should work: apparently the c:\Python38\Scripts is added to your PATH variable, and you can call this ('bat'-file?) from everywhere on your system.

What can be an issue is that with the installation of python 3.8 you 'associated' the 'py' extension (so how to handle *.py files) with the Idle-python programming IDE.

I think it is possible to just remove that association. And then a call to gdalcalc should work.
IF NOT: have a look into the gdalcalc file (the bat script) and fix things there.

Hope this helps,
