[Qgis-developer] Re: [OSSIM] Fwd: Creating a Python plugin for OSSIM-QGIS

[Alex Mandel]

I think the current answer, is that you rely on the user installing
OSSIM and the OSSIM pyhon library (eg. on a linux distro python-ossim,
prebuilt can be shipped with osgeo4w on windows).

That ensure's its on the python path. Then you can write a plugin that
simply imports your lib.


Thanks,
Alex
