[QGIS-Developer] Issues with Importing qgis

[Ryan Ruggiero]

Hello Richard, thank you for the response.



I don't have that path in my QGIS install, these are the only folders in the 'share' directory for QGIS3.2:

What is strange is that I tried importing qgis.core again today just for fun, and I got a different error message:

[cid:image002.png at 01D46617.EAE4C850]



Im guessing this means I need to be running my python program in a python 3.6 shell instead of a python 3.7 shell? But before I uninstall 3.7 and install 3.6 I would like

To see what you make of this error. There isn't much help online with this ImportError regarding QGIS.



Thanks!

-Ryan

Hi Ryan,



It is not the dll's that your are missing, but the actual QGIS python stuff.



In your PYTHONPATH you have to point to the in my install avaialbe dir:



<YOURINSTALLATION>/share/qgis/python/



THERE you find the python dirs/modules:



console  plugins  pyplugin_installer  qgis  qsci_apis



It should be revealed to you also when you do the following in your

python console:



import sys; print(sys.path)



Hope this helps,



Regards,



Richard Duivenvoorde
