I was trying to use Plugin Builder to create custom tool. When I set up parameters for plugin and press "generate", an error appear. Same situation in QGIS that was downloaded with OSGEO4W64.

I looked through some tutorials where it was said that I need to launch OSGeo4W.bat and run pb_tool. But this tool surprisingly not exist in OSGeo4W folder so i tried to test python3 -m install pb_tool and got another error:

Please let me know what can be done here. I simply want to build a button tool with functions I wrote and share it with another colleagues like a python addin in ArcGIS.

  • @user2856 I have python 2 installed with ArcGIS, but it is not set as an environment variable. And I typed the exact python 3 from osgeo4w, but it refers to the python 2 which is in the apps folder of osgeo4w. What I have to do? – Pavel Pereverzev Feb 27 at 5:23
  • @user2856 thanks, that works! However when I want to pack my plugin into a zipfile, after pb_tool zip it gives error that zip or 7z is missing. Does this tool needs to have something else installed for pb_tool? – Pavel Pereverzev Feb 27 at 10:16

In the osgeo4w cmd shell, call py3_env and qt5_env .

You'll also need to install 7zip .

  • I installed 7zip but error still exist. Do I have to install it in specific folder? – Pavel Pereverzev Feb 27 at 11:09
  • No, but you probably need to add the folder that contains 7z.exe to your PATH environment variable. set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\rest of path to 7z folder – user2856 Feb 27 at 11:14
  • fine, that works! – Pavel Pereverzev Feb 27 at 11:35
