Well, there are many plugins, and they might depend on many libs, 
perhaps only a special version. As long as you don't install the 
plugins, you would not miss them. Installing *all* from OSGeo4W ended 
for me in a non-working version, because stable and dev versions got 
mixed up.


It would be better if the plugin installer would advise you to rerun the 
OSGeo installer. But if the user has used the standalone installer, he 
would not know what do ...


Not that easy ;-)

Other way would be that the plugin installer comes with the libs by 
itself, and puts them in the site-packages folder if not already there.

Re: [Qgis-user] XYtools needs Excel python modules

I installed through OSGeo4W. I also uninstalled QGIS and repeated the 
installation. After trying to install XLRD myself, I managed to get it into the 
right place in the Python27 folder (with considerable help from Noli - very 
patient fellow) but no changes. I may have still misunderstood what he told me 
to do.

XYTOOLS is installed in .qgis\python\plugins\xytools   In 
.qgis\python\plugins\xytools\docs\index.html I found the following:

"(to use this functionality you should have the python-uno library installed. For 
Linux you can probably install it via your package manager. On Windows it is harder: you 
can install it via the normal installer as addition/module, but there seems to be an 
error with the python path. The plugin cannot find it. If somebody knows a solution for 
this, please let me know. )"

Are there Windows users who have XYTOOLS installed and reading in Excel files?

Re: [Qgis-user] XYtools needs Excel python modules

2012-08-11 Thread Healthmaps
OK, I got something to happen. (certainly no fault of mine ... thank you!)

I finally understood what you meant by "console" so I made a file qgisEx.bat
with the code

cd /d c:\dist\xlrd-0.8.0
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py install


and upon execution I got a screen full of stuff in the DOS box. I detected 
nothing that said "error" , etc. It looks like it worked.

I found a c:\python27\Lib\site-packages\xlrd which has folders doc and examples 
and then a bunch of .pyc and .py files

But upon trying out XYtools in QGIS 1.8 again to read in a Excel file, I got 
the same error message about needing xlrd Python modules.

Looking at the XYtools folder in C:\Documents and 
Settings\healthmaps\.qgis\python\plugins\xytools\docs\index.html I found the 
following:

"(to use this functionality you should have the python-uno library installed. 
For Linux you can probably install it via your package manager. On Windows it 
is harder: you can install it via the normal installer as addition/module, but 
there seems to be an error with the python path. The plugin cannot find it. If 
somebody knows a solution for this, please let me know. )"

Apparently Windows users have figured this out or none of them have used it, 
and for you a Mac user, it works. I see that in Windows QGIS puts the plugins 
in  
C:\Documents and Settings\Healthmaps\.qgis\python\plugins\ subfolders for each 
plugin. But some code somewhere does not have the right code to find the xlrd 
module.

Thanks for you help. NOt sure what to do next

No. the python27 in QGIS Lisboa is not the your python installation.
Try to look for another one. (I am using Mac OS X so I could not tell
where is installed in Windows).

A console or terminal is generic term for what people in MS World
called software give you access to command prompt.

You have python installation your system since you are able to use
QGIS python plugins.

Back to your problem.

Open the MSDOS command prompt in the directory where you see the setup.py

Then,

Type "python setup.py install"  in the console (MSDOS command prompt).

Be sure that you typed without quotes ("  ").

It will install this in your python sites-packages.

Search for the folder "sites-packages", you will find your python installation.

I suppose you are using Windows.

You see setup.py in the directory that you untar the file?

1. Untar download file (I think you done this already)
2. Open console (i.e. Terminal) in that directory (e.g. xlrd-0.8.0
directory). Be sure you are in this directory / folder
3. Type: python setup.py install

You can see the package installed in your python installation.

e.g. ( in Mac OS X   /python/2.7/site-packages/xlrd   )

4. Do the same step in the other package i.e. xlwt 0.7.4

Re: [Qgis-user] XYtools needs Excel python modules

2012-08-11 Thread rhoskins
Noli, Thanks for your reply, but ... OK I downloaded a .tar file, eventually I got a folder 
dist/xlrd-0.8.0/scripts and dist/xlrd-0.8.0/doc & examples and 1000s of words of Python documentation stuff.

I have no idea what to do with what I downloaded. What to I put where to get 
QGIS XYtools to read Excel files?

Sorry don't mean to be dense/difficult but I have no background in Python, and 
if that is not required I am missing out otherwise. I am not aware of any other 
documentation that explains these kinds of issues with plugins.

Thanks for your help -

Richard

installation? Thanks!

You need to install these packages / modules.

This package is for reading data and formatting information from Excel files.

xlwt
This package is for writing data and formatting information to Excel files.
