How to create a new module typ

[l.ul...@hs-osnabrueck.de]

I like to use PyScrypter for creating map-Files for the (UMN) MapServer.
Couldn't find the right tips neither in  desktop-help nor  online....
Has anyone a suggestion?
Thanks!

Well, you did ask for any suggestions...

Download and run:

http://www.ms4w.com/release/ms4w-3.1.3-setup.exe

I used the "install complete package", and I selected port 8888.

Install python 2.7.11

Copy these files from the ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/mapscript/python/mapscript*win32.zip to the python's site-packages:

mapscript.pyc

_mapscript.pyd

MapScript-7-py2.7.egg-info

mapscript.py

also copy them here ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin

test the server with http://localhost:8888

If that worked, open a command prompt

cd to ms4w

run setenv.bat

cd python 

you should now be in the folder: ms4w/python/

run test-cgi-mapscript.py

If that gave no errors then proceed...

I can't run PyScripter anymore, version 2.6 seems broken. So, I've been using this python IDE:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/user_ed/archive/2016/02/17/visual-studio-community-free-python-development-tools.aspx?_utm_source=1-2-2

Launch that IDE from that command shell above - this is important because the program will need those environmental variables.

Here's some demo code that'll draw an overlay of fire stations, the initial few lines do some diagnostics first:

Here's a screenshot of the mapscripter demo, showing the tool tips:

That IDE will also do source navigation etc...

Good luck!

Turns out that installing Python 2.7.11 does break PyScripter. I reverted back to 2.7.10 and PyScripter works again.

The mapscript stuff I describe below works with 2.7.10, so it turns out that 2.7.11 might not be required. But, YMMV.
