Enable GDAL embedded-Python utilities — gdal_enable

Writes a managed .pth file into the system CPython site-packages directory. The file points to the pure-Python osgeo_utils vendored inside the installed gdalraster package. This does not modify PYTHONPATH and does not affect isolated virtual environments.

Usage

gdal_enable_python(
  lib = NULL,
  isolated = FALSE,
  user_lib = NULL,
  python = NULL,
  site_packages = NULL,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

lib: Library containing the self-contained gdalraster package. Defaults to .libPaths()[1].
isolated: Use the package-managed isolated library instead of .libPaths()[1]. Ignored when lib is set.
user_lib: Deprecated. user_lib = TRUE is now the default; user_lib = FALSE is equivalent to isolated = TRUE.
python: Optional path to the CPython executable GDAL embeds.
site_packages: Optional explicit site-packages directory.
quiet: Suppress status messages.

Value

Invisibly, the .pth path, or NULL when no system CPython can be located.
