[osgeo4w-dev] Python 2.6

[Sampson, David]

Hey Folks.

A. Would it help if I lent a hand? I just recently learnt how to handle
SWIG for python and also posted a message to OSGEO discuss concerning
migrating to Python 3.0

B. How do I find out what modules?  

C. Could building a script help us in the future? Especially with
migrating to 3.x?

D. I could always build inside a virtual winxp box on my linux system at
home. A mini build env?

Cheers
