Python MapScript module still not found (today's summary)

[Howard Butler]

Adam,

The problem with my nightlies is that the GDAL used to make these has ECW
and MrSID and OCI (all of which I don't distribute).  Please use the 4.4.2
"None" package on http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/ and let me know
how it goes.

thanks

Howard
