[Mapserver-users] Installing Python-MapScript (once again)

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Björn,

you should check the MapScript Python Wiki, there is an improved version of
setup.py. But there are some caveeats. This setup.py assumes that you are
going to swig the mapscript interface file on your own. This would mean you
need swig installed. Depending on the swig version you use the options passed
to swig may differ slightly from the options used in this setup file. Get
information here:

HTH, Michael
