I have not found much documentation on PyGeoprocessing, but from what I have read, I would like to try it out. I downloaded the package from here . . . https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pygeoprocessing. One of the links indicates that it's a wheel file, but when I downloaded it, the source is what I got (no .whl file).

Does this utility need to be installed or do you just use the python scripts without installing it first?

I do have all of the prerequisites installed (numpy, scipy, etc.). I don't know how many people out there are familiar with PyGeoprocessing, but I hope someone is.

  • I did run the setup.py script and it created a .eggs folder, but I don't know what that did.

Try using pip to install the package. Follow the link to install pip and then use the command "pip install pygeoprocessing" It will even download the prerequisites for you. But I had to do a bit of fiddling around to get the instal to work. Luckily the error messages during the install told me what was missing.

In my case I had to download first install Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 compiler.

  • Yes, this did it! I didn't think it would install unless I had the whl file, but it did what you indicated. Thanks so much!
