To start with the problem... In a new python file I write:
When run it replies:
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named gdal
To me that translates into, Python can't find the GDAL modules.
correct.
I using GDAL from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/GDAL/
On that site, it says: "GDAL Python Bindings available at the Python
Cheeseshop. An executable installer is available for both Python 2.4 or
2.5 or as a Python egg."
but I don't see any Windows binaries for the python bindings, and that
note doesn't include 2.6 anyway, i suspect it hasn't been updated for a
while -- we really should have python 2.6 and 2.7 there, as well as GDAL
1.7.*
I downloaded http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/win32/1.6/gdalwin32exe160.zip
That is the binaries for the gdal libs and command line utilities -- it
does not include th python bindings.
So you'll need to:
1) do: "easy install GDAL" -- which may find the binaries for you.
2) find a Windows installer for the binaries
3) download the source and do "python setup.py build", "python setup.py
install", but that will require that you have the right compiler set up.
*Question 1*: Are there any problems in using GDAL 1.6 with Python 2.6
on a win-xp?
I don't think there are any problems -- but it does look like there are
no easy-to-install binaries.
There are other binaries of GDAL around -- but I don't if any of them
have python bindings build in. FWTools and OSGeo4W do, but I don't know
if they are compatible with the ESRI-supplied python.
The state of binaries for Windows is not good -- but I'm not offering to
build them, so what can you do? If there is someone that does want to
supply easy-to-install Windows binaries for Python folks, but isn't sure
what they should do, I'd be glad to provide input on that, but I don't
work primarily on Windows, and compiling stuff there has always been a
pain for me.
Looking into ...\gdalwin32-1.6\bin\ in find no *.py files (nor *.pyc)
I would have expected some files with python extensions.
right -- that installer does not include the python bindings.
What file exactly is the import statement supposed to find,
that will enable it to include osgeo functionality?
You are looking for the right things -- properly installed, there will
be a "osgeo" package on your PYTHONPATH, probably in "site-packages"
Good luck, sorry I'm not more help.
