The problem is that within the PyCharm editor, the gdal applications (e.g. gdalwarp or gdal_grid https://gdal.org/) cannot be found when using os.system. For example the code:
os.system(f"gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:27700 {fnc} {tname}")
returns this error message 'sh: 1: gdalwarp: not found'.
I am using PyCharm interpreter with the following settings:
- Ubuntu WSL platform
- conda environment with gdal libaries installed.
When I run the code from the ubuntu terminal, it does find the gdal libraries. So I don't think the problem is within the conda environment, but there is a problem with PyCharm settings to find the gdal application using os system.
I do not want to change the code, but I would rather figure out the correct PyCharm settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
