[Qgis-user] FW: Couldn't load SIP module - Windows 10
Thank you for your prompt and insightful replies! I decided to clean the slate – I uninstalled Anaconda & OsGEO4w, and rebooted. The PATH was clear of any references to python(s) and there were no PYTHONPATH or PYTHONHOME variables. I reinstalled Anaconda, and made sure that I did NOT add conda to PATH. I installed QGIS desktop 3.20 and started the program. I received a very similar error message to last time. Both QGIS and Anaconda write to “Python path,” though QGIS entries are first in order. Have any other thoughts on how to obtain Python support in QGIS? Fred Couldn't load SIP module. Python support will be disabled.

If I remember well, during conda installation you are asked if you want to add conda to the PATH environment variable (can't remember the exact wording), you need to say NO. Otherwise conda python will be the default python on your machine. I agree with Richard, don't mess with osgeo4w scripts or you will end up with with an even worst mess. Alexandre Neto A sábado, 2/10/2021, 08:32, Richard Duivenvoorde escreveu: Hi Fred, I think indeed the source of your problem is the mixing of different versions of python: the one in osgeo4w and the Conda one. When SIP is not loaded correctly, you will not have any python based stuff in QGIS (so no plugins and processing). The osgeo4w scripts normally 'isolate' the (python) paths pretty good. If I'm correct by actually even clearing your own PATH variable (??) But I think that Conda add's it's path's to your normal (python)path's (PATH or PYTHONPATH) variables. For what I know you should not have to 'fix' things in the osgeo4w scripts, better to make sure your system PATH is not filled with PYTHONPATH's or python/bin dirs in PATH. You could try to start the osgeo4w 'terminal' and check what the environment variables PATH and PYTHONPATH are there. If you see conda-paths in it, these should be removed (either by removing them from your environment (but then you have to 'fix' conda) or by clearing them in the osgeo4w bat files...

Wolfgang Meinolf wmeinolf at bbv-deutschland.de Sun Oct 3 11:33:27 PDT 2021 Hi, I had the same issue Friday morning. I tried setup again yesterday night (Germany) and could install w/o issues. To me it looks as someone fixed the repository. Hi Wolfgang , the python3-sip package in the OSGeo4W v2 repository has been update to 6.1.1-5 version on Sep 29th. Regards.

Meanwhile, I have been installing anaconda on a windows machine, and I saw something new. Have you set Anaconda python to be the default python? I think you shouldn't. Please notice that QGIS on conda-forge is not as feature-rich as the one provided by osgeo4w. There's no GRASS or SAGA, no proprietary drivers to open ECW and other proprietary formats, and so on.

Re: [Qgis-user] FW: Couldn't load SIP module - Windows 10
Thanks for the heads up on QGIS from conda-forge vs QGIS from osgeow4. I did not do anything to set Anaconda as the default python. In fact, during Anaconda installation, one is asked whether to modify the PATH to include Anaconda and is encouraged to say No. I said no. I opened osgeo4w shell, ran qgis command, started a python console (which finds ver 3.9.5) from osgeo4w shell, and examined sys.path. As you might have expected, Anaconda python, dll’s, site-packages, win-32\lib all come before QGIS python, site-packages and lib. I’ve tried installing Anaconda first, and QGIS second, as well as QGIS first and Anaconda second. In either scenario, QGIS cannot locate its python modules, and hence, no plugins are available nor can I use GRASS. I’m stumped trying to get the kids to play together nicely!
