Hello,

where to find PhotoScan.py?

as I understand with my little knowledge about python, has to be somewhere,

because the tutorial begins with

import PhotoScan

I've found a map in photoscan-pro/python/lib/python3.2 with a lot of *.py files; but no file has the name PhotoScan.py

Hello Jan,

PhotoScan is a built-in module in PhotoScan.

Hello Alexey,

but I don't know how to access it.

If I open a python console, by typing python in a terminal in Ubuntu Linux; and type 'import Photoscan' (without quotes)

I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named PhotoScan

Do I have to open the python console in a specific folder, or what else could I do wrong?

I use the latest PhotoScan version 0.8.4.1289,

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

regards

Does anybody know if it is possible to access the GUI of photoscan on a remote linux machine, from a windows machine with xming and x11-forwarding enabled putty.

I always run into this error:
xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:11.0"

google didn't help much. Maybe this is just not possible with photoscan?

Is there anyhow a way to use photoscan remotely from a to z:

1) uploading pictures as photoscan input to the remote machine (of course no problem)
2) starting and running photoscan remotely (all steps)
3) downloading photoscan output (e.g. orthophoto)

?

kind regards,
Jan

Hello Jan,

Currently PhotoScan Python module is only accessible from PhotoScan GUI.

Ah! I am in the same position as Jan - I would like to run photoscan on a big compute box from a remote machine so invoking the whole process from a command-line script is very desirable!

I take it, that this means I need to open the photoscan GUI over the network in order to make it go?

Thanks

Adam
