Right you are Martin. A WMS layer can be added via the python bindings by using gdal. I just had to set up an .xml file describing the wms server as outlined here: http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms.html Then it was a simple matter of adding the layer: rLayer = QgsRasterLayer('data/local_wms.xml','2007 Aerial') And everything worked perfectly. The gdal wms provider doesn't seem quite as fast as the native wms provider in QGIS, which isn't really a surprise. It works though. Thanks for the tips!
