I am using python 2.7 and have gdal installed. I want to read an entire .jpg image at once and so I used statement

import gdal
from gdalconst import *
driver = gdal.GetDriverByName('JPEG')
driver.Register()
dataset = gdal.Open('1.jpg', GA_ReadOnly)
cols = dataset.RasterXSize
rows = dataset.RasterYSize
bands = dataset.RasterCount
geotransform = dataset.GetGeoTransform()
originX = geotransform[0]
originY = geotransform[3]
pixelWidth = geotransform[1]
pixelHeight = geotransform[5]
band = dataset.GetRasterBand(1)
data = band.ReadAsArray(0, 0, cols, rows)

but I am getting an import error for gdal_array.

ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-7-6a16047a395b> in <module>()

Please tell me what could possible be going wrong. I am new to using GDAL.

pip uninstall gdal

pip install numpy

pip install GDAL==$(gdal-config --version) --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/usr/include/gdal"

I had the same problem and solved it by building gdal from scratch, after I had Python 2.7 with numpy installed.

I am using gdal within a conda virtual environment. I had the same error, and I was able to resolve it by uninstalling and re-installing some of gdal's key dependencies.

To determine its dependencies:
conda info gdal

More specifically, I had to conda uninstall the following:

• gdal


• numpy


• libgdal


• geos

Quick note on geos: it was not listed as a dependency upon querying with conda info. However, when attempting to reinstall gdal, I had found that there were conflicting libraries associated with geos, so I uninstalled it for thoroughness.

Then, a quick conda install gdal will re-install gdal and its dependencies. When you re-install gdal again with the above line, double-check that you are installing gdal version > 2.0

These specific commands will be different depending on your python distribution / package manager. But hopefully, following a similar procedure of uninstalling/reinstalling will enable you to get a working version.

I just solved this by placing the right files extracted from RPM.
Here is where I get my 64bit RPM
http://www.filewatcher.com/d/Mandriva/2010.1/x86_64/Sciences/Geosciences/gdal-python-1.7.2-1mdv2010.1.x86_64.rpm.220418.html

Using the rpm extraction command provided by
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-extract-an-rpm-package-without-installing-it.html

I was able to find the lost _gdal_array.* files in the path below
usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/GDAL-1.7.2-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/osgeo/

Then simply copy _gdal_array.* to python2.7/site-packages/osgeo/ and problem solved. Hope this helps anyone with similar problems.
