I have a python script (as given below) in QGIS which will just print "Hello QGIS!". 

import sys from qgis.core import * # Initialize QGIS Application QgsApplication.setPrefixPath("C:/OSGeo4W/apps/qgis", True) app = QgsApplication([], True) QgsApplication.initQgis() # Add the path to Processing framework sys.path.append('C:/OSGeo4W/apps/qgis/plugins') # Import and initialize Processing framework from processing.core.Processing import Processing Processing.initialize() import processing print 'Hello QGIS!'

Now, I want to execute this python script without opening QGIS by using a Windows Batch File script. The .bat file which I created for this is given below. 

REM Change OSGEO4W_ROOT to point to the base install folder set QGIS_PREFIX_PATH=C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis REM Gdal Setup set GDAL_DATA=C:\OSGeo4W\share\gdal\ REM Python Setup set PATH=C:\OSGeo4W\bin;C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis\bin;%PATH% SET PYTHONHOME=C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python27 set PYTHONPATH=C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis\python;%PYTHONPATH% REM Launch python job python C:/Users/Sreeraj/.qgis2/processing/scripts/hello.py pause

Unfortunately, I am getting an error : 

File "C:/Users/Sreeraj/.qgis2/processing/scripts/hello.py", line 13, in <module> from processing.core.Processing import Processing ImportError: No module named processing.core.Processing

I also tried modifying the .bat file as given below. 

SET QGIS_PREFIX_PATH=C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis call "C:/OSGeo4W/bin/o4w_env.bat" SET PYTHONPATH=C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis\python;%PYTHONPATH% SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis\bin cmd /c python "C:/Users/Sreeraj/.qgis2/processing/scripts/hello.py"

Again, I am getting the same error : 

ImportError: No module named processing.core.Processing

But, clearly, I have set everything correctly and the processing folder is located in C:/Users/Sreeraj/.qgis2/ .

So, what kind of modification do I have to make in order to run this basic python script correctly using a .bat file ?

  • Try replacing import processing with from processing.tools import *. Commented Feb 12, 2018 at 11:44

    @Joseph I tried that and it didn't work. Commented Feb 12, 2018 at 11:46

    @Joseph Is there some other folder called 'processing' in any other location ? Currently, I can see a folder named 'processing' in the location C:/Users/Sreeraj/.qgis2/ . And my python script hello.py is saved in the location "C:/Users/Sreeraj/.qgis2/processing/scripts/hello.py" Commented Feb 12, 2018 at 11:53

    @Joseph This processing folder "C:/Users/Sreeraj/.qgis2/processing/" is not in the QGIS_PREFIX_PATH=C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis . Will that make a problem ? Commented Feb 12, 2018 at 11:59

    @Joseph You are right !! I have to give sys.path.append("C:/OSGeo4W/apps/qgis/python/plugins") and not sys.path.append("C:/OSGeo4W/apps/qgis/plugins") . It worked perfectly. It was a very silly and simple mistake from my side. Thank You. Commented Feb 12, 2018 at 12:15

You need to replace the following line:

sys.path.append('C:/OSGeo4W/apps/qgis/plugins')

with:

sys.path.append('C:/OSGeo4W/apps/qgis/python/plugins')

As this is where the Processing functionalities are stored (the path you initially used contains other core plugins)
