pygdal Version Misconfiguration

Question

I'm trying to install pygdal using pip but I get a version mismatch (2.2.1 vs 2.2.0). I think python has the incorrect version. I was installing gdal but it gave me version 1.11 so I installed gdal2 from osgeo4mac which gives me the latest version, 2.2.1 but it fails to match v2.2.0.

pip list | grep GDAL
GDAL (2.2.1)

$ gdal-config --version
2.2.1

$ pip install pygdal

Shot in the dark — try to downgrade GDAL to 2.2.0: `pip install -U GDAL==2.2.0`. — phd, Aug 22 '17 at 20:20

Install pydal accordingly to your GDAL version if gdal-config --version gives you 2.2.1 then

pip install pygdal==2.2.1.3

(if you don´t want to update GDAL)

if you are not focused on a certain version:

gdal_version=$(gdal-config --version); echo $gdal_version
pip install pygdal>=${gdal_version}.0,<=${gdal_version}.999
## # for zsh
#pip install pygdal">=${gdal_version}.0,<=${gdal_version}.999"

It looks like pygdal does not yet support gdal 2.2.1. Pygdal Github shows:

Only a small set of GDAL versions is currently supported. At this point they are: 1.8.1, 1.9.2, 1.10.0, 1.10.1, 1.11.0, 1.11.1, 1.11.2, 1.11.3, 1.11.4, 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3, and 2.2.0.

You can either install an older GDAL (see Homebrew install specific version of formula?) or use GDAL without pygdal (there's also gdal2-python formula on Homebrew).

pygdal 2.2.1 has landed to pypi. – drnextgis Sep 07 '17 at 06:47 — drnextgis, Sep 07 '17 at 06:47
