ImportError: No module named qgis.core

Question

I am on Ubuntu 13.04. I get the following error message -

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "analyse.py", line 1, in <module>
        from log import shelve
      File "/home/shubham/SMART/TaxiData/log.py", line 27, in <module>
        from demo import *
      File "/home/shubham/SMART/zones/demo.py", line 5, in <module>
        from qgis.core import *
    ImportError: No module named qgis.core

Actually, everything was working fine till today morning. I guess this might be due to a package update.

I tried looking around on Google but my search was fruitless. So, I will really appreciate any help or pointers you guys can give :)

Thanks.

Answer 1

I solved the problem by completely removing the installation and using the nightly builds at 'deb http://qgis.org/debian-nightly raring main'.

Answer 2

If you have pip installed you could either try pip search qgis or pip freeze. The latter shows a list of all installed python packages to check if you have the package. Maybe try reinstalling qgis ...

Answer 3

Try sudo apt-get install python-qgis . The package does not appear to be available on PyPI, but it was listed as "python-qgis" in the Ubuntu packages.
