That is very definitely a problem: "GDAL only work if you also install FWtools". I hardly think that was the intention when moving maintainense over from Frank to OSgeo.<br>

I'm not sure what you mean by 'dosn't contain python bindings'. I'm not an expert on 'bindings'. But you are right that it is normal to have some files in the Python '\lib\site-packages\' in order for things to work.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>The package should at least contain the .py and .pyd files compiled along with the gdal binaries.<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
What GDAL would you recommend that is not 'pretty old' and 'not well maintained', if not the one found on the official GDAL web site.<div><div></div><div><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>We indend to collect all of the possibilities in the following wiki page:<br>

I've just tried to summarize the key differences/similarities of the Windows package versions in the following table (apologies if something is not correct)<br><br>Package Update frequency corresponding version platform Compiler SDK available maintainer <br>
<br>1. FWTools 1-2 months SVN development(trunk) Win32 MSVC2003 yes (???) Frank Warmerdam<br><br>2. OSGeo4w stable releases stable releases/development Win32 MSVC2003 yes (???) Frank Warmerdam / Howard Butler<br>

4. ms4w releases releases(stable/beta/rc) Win32 MSVC2008 yes (buildkit) Jeff McKenna (DM Solutions)<br>
<br>5. Tamas's binaries daily SVN (development and stable) Win32/Win64 MSVC2003/2005/2008 yes Tamas Szekeres<br><br>6. gdalwin32 ??? ??? Win32 mixed no ???<br>
<br><br><br>It would be much more difficult to enumerate which drivers/bindings are available in which packages.<br><br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Tamas<br> </div></div><br>
