In general, what is the best way to install additional python packages in OSGeo4W? Should I be using "apt" or "setup" (noticed both under Commandline Utilities in the OSGeo4W setup program)? Does OSGeo4W provide it's own setuptools?

I've had limited success using easy_install. I have been able to make it work but only after tracking down depencies, e.g. setuptools, and installing this that and the other thing and in general thrashing about. O4w does not have it's own setuptools. Apt or Setup.exe is user preference. I like apt, for obvious reasons :), but it does have it's limitations and is not as widely tested.

cheers,

matt wilkie
