title: Can't get Python IDLE to recognize OGR/GDAL Module
body: <p>Folks,</p>
  
  <p>Just getting started using OGR and Python for a variety of geospatial tasks. I'm working outside of OSGEO4w, and have installed GDAL w/ Python Bindings as well as Python v. 2.7.8 on my machine.</p>
  
  <p>That said, I can run python and import gdal from a command-line interface but am unable to import the module when I use the IDLE environment. It returns an error telling me that the module doesn't exist. My install must be sound given that it works in the cmd prompt, so what's the deal?</p>
  
  <p>This is all new to me, I'd appreciate any help or advice ya'll can impart; all previous questions I've read were concerned w/ merely installing (which I've done successfully) and getting Python to recognize the module from the command prompt, which it does.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers,</p>
  
  <p>Mike</p>
