[OSM-newbies] importing data

[Robert Helvie]

Thanks David,

It says "version='0.5'" in the mp2osm_catmp.py file, so I guess that is OK

But, Python? Ooo .. I am not to familiar with running Python programs.
At least the author has made the program readable.

Maybe I'll try and give it a go when I get settled soon. Can anyone
suggest any help for Python on Windows?
