[osgeo4w-dev] ImportError: OSGeo4W problems with Python/GDAL

[Matt Wilkie]

Hi Casper,

I think you'll need to start from as clean an environment as possible 
and add items to path until things break again.
For example, from a command shell (start > run > cmd.exe):

{{{
:: clear whole PATH
set path=

:: clear PYTHONPATH, PYTHONHOME
set pythonpath=
set pythonhome=

:: set basic o4w environment
cd /d c:\osgeo4w
set osgeo4w_root=%cd%
path=%osgeo4w_root%\bin
}}}

Now run python and import gdal.

If it works, from the same command shell run each bat in 
"osgeo4w\etc\ini" and test the python import again until something fails.

If it doesn't work, something is wrong with the current o4w package 
ecosystem and we'll try and dig it out.

If you get through all the ini bat's without error, then the problem 
lies somewhere in the host Windows environment. Likely culprits include 
things like other python directories or .dll's in PATH, PYTHONPATH or 
PYTHONHOME (not necessarily gdal dll's).

let us know how you make out,
