I have installed GDAL and checked on the command line, it is working and when I run the gdal2tiles.py on the command line it works but when I run the same file gdal2tiles.py with python IDLE, I get "No module named 'osgeo'" error. Can you assist.

Try this,

pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/usr/include/gdal" GDAL==`gdal-config --version`

  • It works well in my Mac with Python 3.8.3 (default, Jul 2 2020, 11:26:31) Anaconda. Successfully installed GDAL-3.2.0

  • @Saroj, would appreciate it if you could explain why this works as it does or point to an explanation somewhere?

  • Worked for me, but needed sudo apt install libgdal-dev first.

This sounds like you have multiple python installations, and GDAL is installed on one and not the other.

Try the following (which I have based upon this). Create a text file within your python installation site packages folder C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages called usrlocal.pth. In this text file insert one line giving the path to your second python installation site packages folder which features the GDAL install, for example:

C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python27\Lib\site-packages

Got the same problem. I fixed ir by installing python-gdal using synaptic with my Debian Jessie

    Ok, but this question is for Windows OS (check tag osgeo4w). Your answer solves the problem in this OS?

Another possibility is using easy_install from Python:

easy_install gdal

Preferably install numpy for array operations first:

easy_install numpy

I was struggling with this as well. Finally, I created a new virtualenv using Anaconda following this: How to Install PyTorch on Windows Step by Step.

Next, I just used anaconda prompt to install GDAL, i.e. typed: conda install GDAL. It worked! Pycharm recognises OSGeo now.

For GDAL 3.7.1 built from source using CMake on Ubuntu 20.04, the following worked for me using Python 3.8.10.

sudo apt-get install python3-gdal

I was then able to do from osgeo import gdal for my application.
