I'm getting the idea what probably happened. There are two ways where PyQGIS modules can be put. First possibility (default when compiling from source) is that modules are put to (prefix)/share/qgis/python/qgis path, second possibility (which is more suitable for packagers) is that the modules are put to python's site-packages directory (which is often used as place for custom python modules). I guess previously you have installed qgis 0.9.x (which supposedly used first variant) and then installed qgis 0.10. For some reason (I expect that once you've run qgis as root) python created __init__.pyc in /usr/share/qgis/python/qgis so uninstall of qgis 0.9 didn't delete this directory. Now, when qgis 0.10 finds this dir it thinks it contains PyQGIS modules which are in fact present elsewhere (but this directory has preference). Is my hypothesis correct? ;-) Regarding the correction of your problem - the best way is to leave contents of /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages untouched and just delete /usr/share/qgis/python/qgis directory as root. Please confirm if that works for you. Bye, Martin ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] ubuntu 8.04 and python bindings
Great! Yes, the solution is removing the /usr/share/qgis/python/qgis directory and I think your hypothesis is absolutely correct! Many thanks!
