Mapnik安装：CentOS

Question

The problem:

I've installed mapnik 3.0.1 successfully by running the typical source code install:

./configure
make && make install
ldconfig -v

However....

When I import mapnik into python I get the following:

Python 2.7.5 (default, Jun 24 2015, 00:41:19) 
[GCC 4.8.3 20140911 (Red Hat 4.8.3-9)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mapnik
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named mapnik
>>> 

I've tried everything recommended on Mapnik's Troubleshooting page by linking library paths , editing ld.so.conf , etc...

I've been trying to figure this out all day, which isn't very productive. I've tried building other versions of mapnik, and the same thing happens. How do I get this imported???

Thanks in advance.

Yea, you need the python bindings, which is a separate thing. As you mentioned they are actually included with mapnik 3.0 but you still haven't registered them (python doesn't know where they are). This is the easiest way I've found below:

Install mapnik :

brew install mapnik

Verify mapnik is installed (should be 3.0 now)

mapnik-config -v

Install mapnik python bindings (see here https://github.com/mapnik/python-mapnik ):

git clone git@github.com:mapnik/python-mapnik.git
cd python-mapnik
python setup.py install
