[gdal-dev] Running GDAL through Python >= 3.8 on Anaconda - DLL load failed

[Pedro Venâncio]

Hi Joaquim,

Thanks for sharing your case. Did you manage to make it work in some way?

I've already uninstalled a test PostgreSQL/PostGIS that I supposed to be
the source of the conflict, but I keep having the same error.

I also reinstalled conda, but nothing had changed.
