I have changed a shell launcher found at http://inasafe.linfiniti.com/html/id/developer-docs/platform_windows.html as to fit my wish: setting the system environment variables to be able to use PyQGIS modules from the default Python IDLE GUI. When I try to run the original version of the shell launcher it works, namely I succeed in importing (for instance) the "qgis.core" module, in DOS environment. When I launch my modified one (see below) the shell starts but the variables seem no to be set properly, as importing the module outputs the error:
ImportError: DLL load failed: Impossibile trovare il modulo specificato # (impossible to import the specified module)
My OS is Windows XP sp3, Python is 2.7.3 and QGIS is Lisboa v.1.8. Here's my personal SHELL LAUNCHER:
@echo off
SET OSGEO4W_ROOT=C:\QUANTU~1
call "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%"\bin\o4w_env.bat
call "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%"\apps\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw
@echo off
SET GDAL_DRIVER_PATH=%IDLE%\bin\gdalplugins\1.9
path %PATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qgis\bin
path %PATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\grass\grass-6.4.2\lib
path %PATH%;"%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\Python27\Scripts\"
set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qgis\python;
set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\Python27\Lib\site-packages
set QGIS_PREFIX_PATH=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qgis
start "Quantum GIS Shell" /B "cmd.exe" %*
When I test whether if the variables are set properly, it seems they are, but still not succeeding in importing the modules.
