Re: [gdal-dev] can't import osgeo or gdal in python

I got some good news!

It is working pretty good. See:

Last login: Mon Sep 20 19:08:28 on ttys002
turtlebowl:~ ilucena$ python
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Feb 11 2010, 00:51:29) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from osgeo import gdal
>>> drv = gdal.GetDriverByName("GTIFF")
>>> print drv.GetDescription()
GTiff
>>> 

In my case, I install Python 2.7 so it was easier to notice that I was not running Apples's installation of Python 2.6.

Anyway, the instruction are relatively accurate at issue7107 but basically, all you need to do is that:

ln -s /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python

Note that running "make generate; setup.py build; setup.py install" with Apple's Python is a little bit scarier now, full of 
warning but it works.

Regards,

Ivan
