No module named 'osgeo'

Question

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.

@Saroj, would appreciate it if you could explain why this works as it does or point to an explanation somewhere? – a different ben Nov 19 '20 at 02:24
Worked for me, but needed sudo apt install libgdal-dev first. – khaverim Aug 25 '21 at 14:53

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? – aldo_tapia Sep 06 '17 at 19:35

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.
