I was having trouble installing a Python package with pip. pip install gdal failed so instead I tried installing with homebrew as suggested here, running brew install gdal. This worked, but pip doesn't know the package exists, so it tries to install it when installing a package that depends on it. I want pip to be able to use packages installed by brew. My computer runs MacOS 10.14 and I'm using Python 3 with pip 19.0.3 and Homebrew 2.0.2

The command brew install gdal doesn't install a python package — it installs GDAL library. After that you still have to install Python wrapper by running pip install gdal.

  • Oh I see. But when i run `pip install gdal`, I get a fatal error saying `#include ` was not found in `extensions/gdal_wrap.cpp`. – Luciano Feb 20 '19 at 23:56
