I am trying to run an elementary piece of Python code, that simply loads a dem file as a raster accessing the QGIS Python API.
On the embedded console (within the QGIS application GUI), it runs fine and the raster loads. However, it does not load work when I run it outside of the embedded console, from a standard windows prompt AFTER setting up QGIS_PREFIX_HOME and PYTHONPATH using a batch file.
The code I am running is as follows:
import os
from PyQt4.QtCore import QFileInfo, QSettings
from qgis.core import *
# load providers
QgsApplication.initQgis()
# Load an input dem
rasterFile = "E:\\data\\43j11\\43J11.dt2"
fileInfo = QFileInfo(rasterFile)
fileName=fileInfo.fileName()
baseName = fileInfo.baseName()
print "Loading raster layer:" + fileName
if fileInfo.exists():
print "Raster file specified exists."
else:
print "File does not exist"
exit(1)
errorStr = "Unknown"
if QgsRasterLayer.isValidRasterFileName(rasterFile, errorStr):
print "File is a valid raster"
rlayer = QgsRasterLayer(rasterFile, baseName)
if not rlayer.isValid():
print "Layer failed to load!"
else:
print "Successfully loaded dem: " + fileName
else:
print "File is not a valid raster. Error: " + errorStr
QgsApplication.exitQgis()
Within the embedded console, the output I get is:
Loading raster layer:43J11.dt2
Raster file specified exists.
File is a valid raster
Successfully loaded dem: 43J11.dt2
Outside the embedded console, the output I get is:
Loading raster layer:43J11.dt2
Raster file specified exists.
File is not a valid raster. Error: Unknown
I suspect this is a path/initialization problem, so I am also including the .bat file I am using here:
set QGIS_PREFIX_PATH=C:\Program Files\QGIS Wien
set PYTHONHOME=%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\apps\Python27
set PYTHONPATH=%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\lib;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\bin;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\apps\qgis\python\plugins;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\apps\Python27;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\apps\Python27\Lib;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\apps\Python27\Lib\site-packages;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\apps\qgis\python;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\apps\Python27\DLLs;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\apps\qgis\bin;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\apps\qgis\plugins;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\bin\gdalplugins;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\apps\saga\modules;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\apps\Qt4\plugins;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\apps\grass\grass-6.4.3\lib;^
%QGIS_PREFIX_PATH%\apps\grass\grass-6.4.3\bin
set PATH=%PYTHONPATH%;%PATH%
I need it to work outside of the embedded console since I need to package QGis as part of my application. My eventual plan is to include a .bat file where I will set the QGIS_PREFIX_HOME from my application's installer.
