[Qgis-user] [QGIS-LIST] Contour plugin install under OSGEO4W

[Lionel Roubeyrie]

Benoit,
I never used OSGEO4W, I only work on Linux workstations. Like says here 
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/pkg-python, you need to install modules under 
the osgeo4w python directory, then effectively the .exe file provided by shapely 
won't work, sorry for the mistake :( Maybe playing with ctypes under the osgeo4w 
installation, but I don't know how to...
With GRASS yes you have some contours possiblities.
