How to import liblas module in Python?

Question

I am using liblas for python to read .las file. When I enter:

from liblas import file

It gives me:

No module named liblas.

I already set up las library path in system, lasinfo is working fine. Can anyone tell me how to import las library in Python? I am using Ubuntu by the way.

Answer 1

It looks like the liblas is not properly installed or you configured the path incorrectly. Try installing the package liblas using pip or easy_install.

$ easy_install liblas OR $ pip install liblas

Answer 2

I had the same problem.

After installing the module liblas, I tried to import it but it failed everytime.

What you can do:

1. Go to the folder which contains your download liblas folder (for me: /Users/blablabla/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libLAS-1.6.0-py2.7.egg). This folder contains 2 folders: EGG-INFO and liblas.
2. Copy-paste liblas (the folder) into the parent folder (site-packages).

Now go to Python, and import liblas. It should work.
