[osgeo4w-dev] Import OSGeo4W/Gdal from Python

[Max Andela]

Dear Thomas,

Thanks for your information. yes, it really worked from OSGeo4W command
shell.

I also tried to import gdal from Python idle. I set Path environment
variable to "C:\OSGeo4W64\bin" and PYTHONPATH variable to
"C:\OSGeo4W64\apps\Python27". But could not import the gdal from Python
idle.

Thank you so much.
Max
