     74The ogcserver obviously needs layers to publish.  For now, with Mapnik, this 
    7575can only be done by writing code. In this case, a Python script will need to be 
    7676written to describe the layers and respective styles.  For information on the Python 
    7777API, look in demo/python, or in docs/epydocs.
