[Qgis-user] installing 1.7 standalone Win XP: Couldn't load PyQGIS., Python support will be disabled.

[Milo van der Linden]

Hello Janneke,

I think I remember that qGIS can run without pyQGIS, so you should be
good on "regular" functionality with qGIS.

However, for python support you need a more recent version of python
sip. Instructions for installing that can be found here:

Good luck!
