Hi Aleksey,

With regard to ipython, if you register the o4w python with windows[1] you should be able to run the standard ipy windows installer, which will put ipy in %pythonhome%\Lib\site-packages. This may work for the other extra programs too.

[1] optional package to register python in Windows registry - http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/114

Longer term, I'd like see ipython added to the o4w packages list, but have not had the time to devote to it yet.

cheers,

matt wilkie

Dear GDAL experts,

What is the best/recommended way to install additional python packages for the Python bundled with OSGeo4W (currently 2.5.2)? Specifically, I am looking for the following packages (which do not seem to be available via the OSGeo4W installer; neither should they be, necessarily):
  - IPython
  - SQLAlchemy
  - xlrd (module to read Excel files)

I am still struggling with assembling on my Windows machine a complete Python/GDAL toolchain (python, GDAL utility programs and python bindings), which could also include other add-on modules (such as those listed above). As per responses (thank you!) to my earlier posting (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04681.html) I am trying to build this toolset with OSGeo4W.

I also tried assembling the toolset using just a standard Python 2.5 installation (python.org <http://python.org>), combined with easy_install for xlrd and sqlalchemy. However, I could not install GDAL, neither via easy_install (could not compile since I did not have Visual Studio 2003; even though I had VS 2005), nor following instructions on the GDAL page at PYPI (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/GDAL/). On the PYPI page the link to "GDAL Python Bindings" points to the page itself, and I have no idea where to get the actual download (expected to see something like GDAL-1.6.0.win32-py2.5.exe).

So, any advice on how to make all these pieces work together is greatly appreciated. Once again, the required pieces are: Windows, Python 2.5, GDAL (utility programs & python bindings), IPython, SQLAlchemy, xlrd (+ ability to install other add-on packages).

Thank you,

Aleksey
