Hi Paolo,

Osgeo4w Python doesn't register itself with Windows. So it's likely that o4w python is there, just not visible. It should be located at C:\Osgeo4w\apps\python27. To test for it, open "Osgeo4W Shell" and run "python --version".

ArcGIS python and Osgeo4W python are not guaranteed to be so. The ArcGIS py lives at C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.x. Having both of them in PATH at once /will /lead to problems sooner or later, though depending on what modules are used it's possible to trundle along happily for quite awhile.

There's instructions for getting ArcGIS 9.x to use o4w python instead of it's own at http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/134/can-arcgis-and-osgeo4w-share-the-same-python-install, which I used successfully for many years. I haven't tried that since we migrated to 10.x though and am maintaining 3 distinct pythons (Arc, o4w, python3).

cheers,

matt wilkie

Hello list

I am not a Windows user, but the few times I have been using OSGeo4W
it was working like a charm, so the following problems sounds strange
to me.
A colleague of mine is trying to install it on his Windows 7 64 bit
box, and for some reason the installer does not install Python and all
the Python stuff at all (Python GDAL bindings and so on).
Not sure if this could be related: on this system there is already
another Python (2.7) that was installed together with the ArcPy ArcGIS
Desktop library, but it is not set on PATH.

Any hints of what it could be?
thanks in advance
