setting gdal as a dependency is only going to work if one of these is true:
* There is a binary wheel on PyPi for gdal (which is very hard to do, though with teh manylinux effort, maybe there will be some day) * the system on which you are trying to install is all set up to compile gdal -- which is a major effort, and indeed, I'm not sure is possible (I haven't looked) - The GDAL source ships with the python bindings, so the usual thing is for gdal itself and the pyton bindings to all get compiled and installed at once. I"m not srue that anyone has made a setup.py that will do that. This kind of thing is exactly why conda exists -- python packages with complex non-python dependencies are not well handled by pip / pypi -- if I were you, I"d give it a try :-) -CHB On Tue, Apr 12, 2016 at 5:24 AM, Luís de Sousa <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear all, > I am trying to package a Python script for PyPI that uses GDAL.
