anyone else wrap gd-1.8?

[musingattheruins at my-deja.com]

Yeah, I wrapped it but did not use SWIG so it took longer than 1.25
hours.  It's available with source for Win32 at
http://musingattheruins.homepage.com/PythonGD.html

There's a compiled version or instructions for creating the module
yourself.  Uses the latest of everything (zlib, libpng, libjpg, and
gd). Also supports PNG and JPEG.

The compiled version (GD.pyd) is uncompressed and can just be dumped
into the \Program Files\Python\DLLs folder.  It does not create any
ancillary files or registry entries so to uninstall it just delete it.

Although I do not use keywords in parameters (maybe in a future
version) it does allow for tuples and __doc__ strings.

Also, image file pointers have been wrapped and access is through the
the file name and/or a python TYPE, which seems a little easier to read.

Regards,
Bill :-)
