[gdal-dev] Generating Python Bindings for GDAL 3.11.4

[Mazin Marwan]

Further on this, I've tried to generate the bindings myself by duplicating
swig/python/setup.py.in and replacing the template variables. However I'm
running into this error when I run
C:\Users\ma005968\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\python.exe
setup.py

gdal_wrap.cpp
c1xx: fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file:
'extensions/gdal_wrap.cpp': No such file or directory
gnm_wrap.cpp
c1xx: fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file:
'extensions/gnm_wrap.cpp': No such file or directory

The readme.rst isn't incredibly clear on how to generate the python
bindings myself and this was my understanding of how to do it as running
the cmake command there wasn't working either.
