Python Visual Studio的gdal安装

Question

I want to develop GIS based GUI in python using Visual Studio 2013.

But when I am trying to using gdal it is showing error given below-

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named gdal

It would be helpful, if you let me know how to install gdal for python?

I am using Visual studio 2013 for python.

Answer 1

For windows, you may download from here.

1. Add the installation directory bin folder to your system PATH, remember to put a semicolon in front of it before you add to the existing path.

    C:\\gdalwin32-1.6\\bin 

2. Create a new user or system variable with the data folder from your installation.

    Name : GDAL_DATA Path : C:\\gdalwin32-1.6\\data 

If you don't know how to do this, than suggested Microsoft KnowledgeBase documentation

For more details you may take look here for other platforms.

Answer 2

You should be able to install the components for various versions of MSVC and Python at this website:

I've only used the above resource for running GDAL under Python. I've never used Visual Studio 2013 for Python, but hopefully the above resource provides the necessary components.
