[GIS] No module named ‘osgeo’

gdalosgeoosgeo4wpyqt4python

I have installed GDAL and checked on the command line, it is working and when I run the gdal2tiles.py on the command line it works but when I run the same file gdal2tiles.py with python IDLE, I get "No module named 'osgeo'" error. Can you assist.

This sounds like you have multiple python installations, and GDAL is installed on one and not the other.

Try the following (which I have based upon this). Create a text file within your python installation site packages folder C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages called usrlocal.pth. In this text file insert one line giving the path to your second python installation site packages folder which features the GDAL install, for example:

C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python27\Lib\site-packages

If you install GDAL from source and you want the GDAL Python bindings, you need to configure it with Python:

./configure --with-python

In your output you should find:

...
Poppler support:           no
Podofo support:            no
OpenCL support:            no
Armadillo support:         no
FreeXL support:            yes

SWIG Bindings:             python

Statically link PROJ.4:    no
enable OGR building:       yes

[GIS] Using gdal module with ArcPy

Python IDE which is installed with ArcGiS can't use GDAL modules. You have few options:

Install QGis and use python shell in QGis,
Install new Python IDE and again install GDAL libraries,
Install development enviroment like Eclipse, there you can set python interpreter and connect libraries installed somwhere else.

I think that first option will be easiest and fastest.
