Joseph,

You should correct the links, they error out with a 404... Interesting project by the way!

No clue why they were clipped... now they are correct.

I searched high and low and could not find a Python wrapper for it, so I had a fresh cup of Joe and decided to dive right in.

Are you aware of the GDAL/OGR python bindings? They have supported the FGDB API for about as long as the API has been available.

lpinner: If all you need to do is access the File Geodatabase API then this is substantially more lightweight than GDAL/OGR and exposes the original API interfaces (including those for editing). I use GDAL almost every day but in this case I desired a more direct path to the File Geodatabase API.

I'm going to create a simplified windows build tonight.
