[Qgis-user] Python modules (dependencies?)

[Thomas J. Boyd]

Dear List users,

I have been unable to find an answer to this via searching, so here 
goes: I use QGIS v.1.7.2 (now 1.7.3) windows binaries. I want to use the 
contour plugin. According the docs, it requires shapely, numpy, and 
matplotlib. The contour python files are loaded into my documents 
directory in sub /.qgis/python/plugins/contour.

After installing either the 2.5 or 2.7 python binaries and libraries 
(including numpy, shapely and matplotlib), I still get errors trying to 
use contour. I did default install(s) for python (in the "Program files" 
directory). I tried copying over the numpy, shapely and matplotlib 
python files to my .qgis/python/plugins folder but get errors loading 
QGIS (for either 2.5 32-bit or 2.7 64-bit python installs). I can run 
"other" python scripts in a command window (so the python interpreter is 
"registered" I think). I can run numpy, shapely and matplotlib functions 
in IDLE without issue.

Has anyone had experience running contour plugin on a windows machine? 
Any install tips? I am using Win7 64-bit. Thanks in advance for any 
assistance.

Tom
