Spyder 2.7 doesn't recognize gdal bindings on windows 7

[Oliver]

I am using 32-bit Python 2.7 with gdal binaries 1.11 on windows 7. The "import gdal" command works well in the default python console but in the spyder python shell the command gives an import error: DLL load failed: procedure not found. I added all kind of paths to the gdal libs with the PYTHONPATH manager without success.
Can anyone give me a hint?

How did you install Spyder?

Is it part of the same package that installed Python?

What does sys.path show in the default console versus the Spyder console?

I am having the same issue. Starting python from the command prompt/IDLE lets me do 'from osgeo import gdal, osr, ogr', but running the same in Spyder results in:

 

"Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\osgeo\__init__.py", line 21, in <module>

    _gdal = swig_import_helper()

  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\osgeo\__init__.py", line 17, in swig_import_helper

    _mod = imp.load_module('_gdal', fp, pathname, description)

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found."

I looked at the output of sys.path in both, and the only difference is that 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\spyderlib\\utils\\external' appears immediately after '' in the path listing, and not in the sys.path output from the command prompt. 

I installed Spyder via Python(x,y), and installed GDAL/Python bindings from two .msi files (not from source, second file for the python bindings). Since GDAL works fine from the default prompt I assume it is installed correctly. 

Any ideas?

Install the Python(x,y) GDAL plugin?:
