[mapserver-users] python mapscript error

[Luca Delucchi]

Hi everybody, I'm starting to use python mapscript to create web
services, but I have a problem when I try to create a new layer.
I saw this [0] thread, and I try to apply the patch but it didn't
work. I'm running svn version of branches 6 on a Ubuntu OS
