Re: [gdal-dev] Problem with GDAL Python bindings and ECW format under Windows

[Ivan Lucena]

Alain,

Do you have the GDAL_DRIVER_PATH environment variable set on your Windows system?

C:\>echo %GDAL_DRIVER_PATH%
C:\Apps\GDAL\bin\gdalplugins

That is what going to make the GDAL dll inside the Python process to find the plugins. GDAL command line tools doesn't need that because they get it from a default path relative to where they are installed ".\gdalplugins".

Regards,

Ivan
