title: can't import gdal in python?
body: <p>I have <code>gdal</code> installed and running on Ubuntu Jaunty but I can't run <code>gdal2tiles</code> because I get the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/local/bin/gdal2tiles.py", line 42, in &lt;module&gt;
      import gdal
  ImportError: No module named gdal
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I open python and type <code>import gdal</code> I get the same error.</p>
  
  <p>I've <code>set LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> (without spaces!) to <code>/usr/local/lib</code> but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.</p>
  
  <p>Looks like Python can't find <code>gdal</code>. Can anyone help?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
