[Live-demo] Does your application work on the click2try GISVM?

[Dane Springmeyer]

Just the 'apt-get upgrade' will bring in the right version of python- 
mapnik, that make available the mapnik python bindings for python2.6  
(they are already installed for python2.5).

So, not extra installation should be necessary, just updating the  
system apps with apt.

This is because this was a bug in the ubuntu packaging and therefore  
available via apt (even though mapnik was not upgraded):
