    I'm getting closer after installing the MS compiler for Python and
    running "python setup.py build" successfully but still get a
    failure. <br>
    <br>
    Does the usual GDAL Python user need to go through all this? I see
    lots of information and tutorials about using the GDAL Python API
    but haven't found much about setting up the environment in order to
    get started.<br>
