[mapserver-users] Pyhton mapscript import error

[Guillaume Sueur]

Hi,

python mapscript + agg is a real pain

I grabbed a howto file some months ago, on PerryGeo blog
(http://www.perrygeo.net/wordpress/)

find it here as attachment
it works fine. I've just tested it again few minutes ago.

Regards

Guillaume
