title: Using gdal in canopy, hdf file is not supported
body: <p>I want to recreate this code in Canopy:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://jgomezdans.github.io/gdal_notes/ipython.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://jgomezdans.github.io/gdal_notes/ipython.html</a></p>
  
  <p>But if I do exactly the same I get the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR 4: `\Users\Lisa\Documents\Data1.hdf'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I tried to import a couple of libraries that can help me, but I still get the same error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>from osgeo import gdal
  #import numpy as np?
  # import pyhdf?
  #import pandas as pd?
  
  #import hdf5
  g = gdal.Open("\Users\Lisa\Documents\Data1.hdf")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I tried a few combinations with the different libraries, but it still doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>(NOTE: <code>import hdf5</code> hasn't work yet <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43466901/package-manager-canopy-error-import-hdf5">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43466901/package-manager-canopy-error-import-hdf5</a>)</p>
  
  <p>Has anybody an idea which library is necessary or why my code isn't working?</p>
