Python GDAL: pip install --no-install GDAL fails

Question

I am trying to install GDAL in virtual environment based on the various solutions out there.

However the download itself already fails:

$ pip install         


        

Answer 1

A workaround to that problem is to

1. Download GDAL Complete from this site
2. Install GDAL Complete.pkg
3. Go to /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.10/ and copy all files in there
4. Go to your virtual environment's sites-packages /venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages and paste the copied files in there
