[GIS] How to use the OGR/GDAL configure options in QGIS Python environment

gdalgmlogrpythonqgis

I'm looking for a solution how to use the OGR/GDAL configure options (–config) in the QGIS Python environment. http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ConfigOptions

Setting special configure options is necessary to load some data correctly (OGR Driver).

One usually sets options in C with CPLSetConfigOption. In python it would be gdal.SetConfigOption(option, value), e.g., gdal.SetConfigOption('PG_USE_COPY', 'YES')

Only adding this because I tried using the kyng chaos tools, but on my Mac OS X machine I was able to very, very easily install this with Anaconda

conda install gdal

Posting in case anyone finds this again - I realize the original post is 3 years old.

I solved it. Environment variables needed setting according to the KDE (rather than plain ubuntu) method. Using the instructions here (http://userbase.kde.org/Session_Environment_Variables/en) i created a script called 'gdal-qgis.sh' that contained just "export GDAL_DATA=/usr/share/gdal/1.9", and saved it to $HOME/.kde/env. Rebooted, and i can now convert.
