Running GDAL scripts in ESRI Model Builder
From Wildsong
I have a script that runs fine standalone but I need it to run in ESRI Model Builder. I am doing this for a client. I avoid Model Builder because scripts are maintainable and reliable.
I am using the versions of Python, GDAL, and Shapely.
The script won't run in Model Builder because it sets up its environment for the ESRI version of Python 2.6.
I think I can use virtualenv to get around this problem.
I found these instructions and I am following them right now. http://www.tylerbutler.com/2012/05/how-to-install-python-pip-and-virtualenv-on-windows-with-powershell/
