Thank you so much Konrad! This is very very helpful.
I myself are now going to try to make my own QGIS plugins for features that I've been missing.

I'm a novice when it comes to the very coding itself, but I'm learning :).
Hope to see more videos from you in the future. Keep up the good work sir!

Hi Mr. Konrad, your video is very helpful. I modified the python-qgis.bat file in the qgis /bin folder by inserting the last line for starting PyCharm (I'm talking about QGis 3.34 and Python 3.9 on Windows OS). Unfortunately I can't use the pb-tool commands from whatever terminal I use, cmd, OSGeo4W, whether started from Windows or in the PyCharm terminal. This is despite pb-tool (latest version) results installed as per 'pip list'. My QGis installation was not done using OSGeo4W setup and the PyCharm interpreter was set to QGis (\bin\python3.exe folder). The message I get when I try pb-tool commands, for example 'pb-tool --help', is that pb-tool is not an executable or bat file!

Hi,
Do you have any idea about this error ;
"Logged warning: Duplicate provider native registered"

[VirinchieHygen]

i got this message 'pb_tool' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

This is great, but is there a way to run pyqgis in pycharm? I mean not for building plugins. I am used to Arcpy and would like to do the same with PyQGIS.

Hi Mr. Konrad,


I have this issue when I was running the pygis.bat, particulary after install pb_tool

Warning: the script pybabel.exe is intalled in which is not on PATH
Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to surpress this waring, use --no-warn-script-location.
Warning: the sphinx-apidoc.exe is intalled in which is not on PATH
Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to surpress this waring, use --no-warn-script-location.
Warning: the script pb_tool.exe and pbt_exe are intalled in which is not on PATH
Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to surpress this waring, use --no-warn-script-location.

later, when I check with type pb_tool, it comes 'pb_tool' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program batch file.


Thank you Mr. Konrad,

I´m trying to do this to continue with my course on your website but I'm stuck at this stage as I have a MAC and I´ve not been able to find examples to set this up.
Any advice on where to look for references?
Thanks

Hi Konrad,

Despite numerous attempts to get this to work, I still unfortunately receive the following error when trying to import qgis.core:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'qgis'

Are you familiar with this problem and/or know how to solve it?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your videos! One question I do have is using pb_tool. I am able to successfully download pb_tool using the same method you used in your videos. However, afterwards when I try and run $ pb_tool, I get an error stating 'command not found'. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Sorry that's a fail for me I don't have Git nor do I know what it is or does. So I guess that the end for me. Not sure why you explained all the other lines just to end with "that's git"? Oh its all a bit out of date. There are a bunch of items that need adding the path and I'm really thinking do I really want to spend my time in DOS world, one I left 25years ago.

[kaushilkundalia]

Attribute error: sys.flags has no attribute 'utf8_mode'
