I just realised, that GDAL 1.7 and the most recent Enthought works fine together currently! Just copy the gdal.pth file from the GDAL.Framework into the Enthought site-packages, and it will be importable! But the one thing that does not work anymore after doing so is the pylab switch from ipython: ipython -pylab will crash with a Bus Error. However, starting ipython without the switch and importing matplotlib by hand (from matplotlib.pylab import *) is working (with the lack of auto-updating figures unfortunately, but show() works). So, I am happy, I have 'almost' the best of both worlds now and will send a bug/question to the ipython guys. Oh, and I tried pypi/pip for gdal, but getting error "could not run gdal-config" (and a lot subsequent errors due to missing config i think). I don't know how to repair that, something to fix inside the config section of setuptools I think. -- To unsubscribe, reply using "remove me" as the subject.
