Can anyone advise how to install the python osgeo library into FME's Python. I've inherited a workbench that use these via PythonCaller, but at some point that FME version was removed and a new one installed so whatever was done to the Python install of FME has gone.
Thanks,
Jonathan
that depends entirely on how the osgeo installer works, as there are several installer types in use with different prerequisites. For a lot of use cases you can follow this:
http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/How_To/Install-Python-modules-into-FME
For the cases where this isn't possible, I recommend that you download and install a free-standing version of Python (from https://www.python.org/) that matches the one delivered with FME (usually version 2.7). You then configure FME to use this Python interpreter (see: http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/How_To/Choosing-a-different-Python-Interpreter-installation), where you finally install your 3rd party modules.

Thanks for that. I didn't manage to find the first link during my searches. The downside to this method is - I don't seem to actually be able to find the Python osgeo package downloadable online. :-/ I guess it came with the OSGeo4W installer maybe. Hmmm.

I've tried the second method, with a confirmed working install of Python 2.7 (already installed) that has the package installed within it.
Problem is, FME fails to run when using this method:
2015-01-14 17:02:15| 1.5| 0.0|ERROR |The User-specified library C:\\Python27\\python27.dll could not be loaded
2015-01-14 17:02:15| 1.5| 0.0|INFORM|Using user-specified Python interpreter from C:\\Python27\\python27.dll
2015-01-14 17:02:15| 1.5| 0.0|FATAL |A Python installation could not be detected. PythonFactory could not initialize
---
Finally, from (http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/How_To/Python-on-FME-Server#heading_toc_j_1 (I figured I'd give it a try on Desktop)) I've also tried to copy and paste the module directory from the 2.7 install into the FME Python directory. but this just gives me a different error again:
2015-01-14 17:06:19| 2.8| 0.1|ERROR |Python Exception <ImportError>: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
So all in all, I'm afraid I remain very confused. :-(
Any thoughts on any of these?
Thanks,
Jonathan
could it be that your installation of Python 2.7 in C:\\Python27 is a 64-bit version? You will need a 32-bit version of Python for 32-bit FME.

Hi David,
Good thought. I don't know the python version, so tested against both FME versions:
FME 32bit error:
2015-01-14 17:25:20| 1.6| 0.0|ERROR |The User-specified library C:\\Python27\\python27.dll could not be loaded
2015-01-14 17:25:20| 1.6| 0.0|INFORM|Using user-specified Python interpreter from C:\\Python27\\python27.dll
2015-01-14 17:25:20| 1.6| 0.0|FATAL |A Python installation could not be detected. PythonFactory could not initialize
=============
FME 64bit result:
2015-01-14 17:26:29| 1.5| 0.0|INFORM|Using user-specified Python interpreter from C:\\Python27\\python27.dll
2015-01-14 17:26:29| 1.5| 0.0|INFORM|Python version 2.7 successfully loaded

ImportError: No module named site
and then the translation ends with nothing else in the log!
So it may be 64bit, but I'm just getting a different error! :-(
Thoughts still welcome! :-)
Thanks,
Jonathan
you should check the version by double-clicking on python.exe and see what it says:
David
Enthought Python Distribution -- www.enthought.com
Version: 7.2-1 (64-bit)
Python 2.7.2 |EPD 7.2-1 (64-bit)| (default, Sep 14 2011, 11:25:00) [MSC v.1500 6
4 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "packages", "demo" or "enthought" for more information.
32-bit FME needs 32-bit Python.

Hi David,
Thanks for the information.
After further testing:
- Issue happens with both 32bit and 64bit.
- Anaconda Python gets the exact same error as Enthought.
- The "site" module is loaded and works fine when I use python.exe in my install and then "import site".
I did manage to find an OSGEO package, but the method from the link - http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/How_To/Install-Python-modules-into-FME - doesn't work because it seems end up trying to compile the OSGEO thing.
So, I'm afraid I seem to be no closer to finding the solution to this issue than I was when I started this.
Any thoughts welcome!
Thanks,
Jonathan
you probably need to find a pre-compiled version of osgeo.
If it's GDAL you need, have a look here for a starting point: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/GDAL/
