[Qgis-user] Can't seem to import qgis.core in OSX 10.8

[Larry Shaffer]

Hi Nick,

Welcome to using QGIS.

In Terminal, you'll want to set the following:

  export PYTHONPATH=/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/Resources/python

Or, when importing from within a Python module, or at Python console's
prompt in Terminal, you can append that path to the Python executable's
sys.path:

  import sys
  sys.path.append('/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/Resources/python')

Alternatively, and more to the benefit of understanding PyQGIS, you can use
the Python Console within a running QGIS app, which uses QGIS's embedded
Python executable.

Here are the current docs for the upcoming 2.0 release, though much of it
works fine for 1.8:
http://docs.qgis.org/2.0/html/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/

Regards,

Larry
