I am currently trying to create a series of shapefiles from postcodes (using OS Open Geo Data) using the code from "Random Junk" ( http://random.dev.openstreetmap.org/postcodes/#) running on Ubuntu 9.10 but I can't get it working.
What I have done so far is to create a folder called /home/kev/osm In this folder is "makeShapeColoured.py" Prompted by http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg20932.htmlI have downloaded the pyshapelib from http://ftp.intevation.de/users/bh/pyshapelib/pyshapelib-0.3.tar.gz (the URL appears to have changed when compared with the mail archive post), which has been extracted into the same folder and then renamed shapelib (i.e. there exists a file called /home/kev/osm/shapelib/shapelib.py ). If I then run $ python makeShapeColoured.py I get the following message Traceback (most recent call last): File "makeShapeColoured.py", line 34, in <module> import shapelib.shapelib as shp, shapelib.dbflib as dbf ImportError: No module named shapelib.shapelib I'm guessing this is because the "python binding" needs installing - but which binding? Google seams to bring back results about the subversion, gdal and not just a generic python bindings - has anyone any ideas what needs to be done here? Install is a standard (English/GB) installation of Ubuntu running inside Virtual Box which has had the following command run sudo aptitude install openssh-server python python-mapnik mapnik-utils libmapnik-dev python-dev and all the respective dependencies installed. Hopefully converting it to running on the OS projection will be as simple as changing the project line! Regards, Kev
