Installing GDAL + Python 2.5 + "GDAL Python bindings" through the advanced settings usually works pretty easy.

And the you should be able to launch the OSGeo4W Shell and access it, example:

  C:\OSGeo4W> Python
  >>> from osgeo import gdal
  >>> gdal.VersionInfo()
  '1520'
  >>>

Notice that OSGeo4W install its own Python 2.5 distribution. So if you have a previous installation of Python 2.5, that is not going to access the GDAL bindings.

Dear GDAL users,

My apologies if this is a repeated question, I searched the mail acrhives and found a few discussions on this subject, but no resolution, AFAIK. I may have overlooked a good thread, would appreciate a link.

My problem is being able to do scripting with GDAL using Python 2.5 (this version is important because of integration/compatibility with a number of other packages, mainly IPython), and I need to be able to do it on Windows. I attempted a few approaches, but could not figure out how to get all the pieces to work together:
   - FWTools 2.4.5; however it comes with Python 2.3, an older version
   - OSGEO4W
- Went through the Express setup and chose GDAL (+ GRASS, QGIS).It installed Python 2.5.2; however on "import gdal" I get error "No module named gdal". - I looked through the Advanced setup and tried it a few times with various options related to GDAL, however was not able to get it to work. Are there specific options that should be enabled to make GDAL/Python scripting possible in OSGEO4W? - Tried to "easy_install gdal", this finds GDAL 1.6.1 and puts a suitable *.egg into C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages. But when I try to "import gdal" I get the error stating that gdal16.dll was not found.

Is there a way to achieve this on Windows? Do I need to compile GDAL on my windows box; if so, should I be using Cygwin or try to download MS VC++?

Thank you

Aleksey
