Creating standalone python Script using PyQGIS?

Question

I have written a code which solve my problem for Demand Allocation. I have Input (.csv)File and Output is also (.csv) File. However I have to integrate this script in Java Application.(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10097491/call-and-receive-output-from-python-script-in-java), So i am thinking to write Standalone python script.I dont't have any idea how to use it.Can someone help me in this code. Any path or Variable that need to be set.Please point that too.I am working on windows 7& with QGIS 3.0 Version

from qgis.core import QgsProject
uri='file:///C:/Test/points_40.csv? 
delimiter=,&crs=epsg:4326&id=id&xField=Lat&yField=Long'
layer=QgsVectorLayer(uri,'Points','delimitedtext')
root = QgsProject.instance().layerTreeRoot()
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(layer)
vectorLyr=QgsVectorLayer("C:/Test/demand/Demand.shp","BuildingLayer","ogr")
vectorLyr.isValid()
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(vectorLyr)
uri='file:///C:/Test/data.csv?delimiter=,'
infoLyr=QgsVectorLayer(uri,'Population','delimitedtext')
infoLyr.isValid()
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(infoLyr)
csvField='FID_1'
shpField='FID'
joinObject=QgsVectorLayerJoinInfo()
joinObject.setJoinFieldName(csvField)
joinObject.setTargetFieldName(shpField)
joinObject.setJoinLayerId(infoLyr.id())
joinObject.setUsingMemoryCache(True)
joinObject.setJoinLayer(infoLyr)
vectorLyr.addJoin(joinObject)
import processing
parameters={'INPUT' : 'file:///C:/Test/points_40.csv delimiter=,&crs=epsg:4326&id=id&xField=Lat&yField=Long', 'BUFFER' : 0, 'OUTPUT' : 'C:/Test/demand/vor_points.shp' }
processing.run('qgis:voronoipolygons',parameters)
vor_points=QgsVectorLayer("C:/Test/demand/vor_points.shp","VorLayer","ogr")
vor_points.isValid()
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(vor_points)
vor_layer = vor_points.clone()
root.insertChildNode(-1, QgsLayerTreeLayer(vor_layer))
root.removeLayer(vor_points)
import processing
processing.run('qgis:checkvalidity',{ 'INPUT_LAYER' : 'C:/Test/demand/Demand.shp', 'METHOD' : 2, 'VALID_OUTPUT' : 'C:/Test/demand/valid.shp', 'INVALID_OUTPUT' : 'C:/Test/demand/invalid.shp', 'ERROR_OUTPUT' : 'C:/Test/demand/error.shp' })
ValidHouse=QgsVectorLayer("C:/Test/demand/valid.shp","validHouse","ogr")
ValidHouse.isValid()
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(ValidHouse)
processing.run("native:centroids", {'INPUT':'C:/Test/demand/valid.shp','ALL_PARTS':True,'OUTPUT':'C:/Test/demand/centroid.shp'})
 centroidLyr=QgsVectorLayer("C:/Test/demand/centroid.shp", 
"CentroidLayer","ogr")
centroidLyr.isValid()
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(centroidLyr)
processing.run("qgis:distancematrix",{ 'INPUT' : 'C:/Test/demand/centroid.shp', 'INPUT_FIELD' : 'FID', 'TARGET' : 'file:///C:/Test/points_40.csv?delimiter=,&crs=epsg:4326&id=id&xField=Lat&yField=Long', 'TARGET_FIELD' : 'id', 'MATRIX_TYPE' : 0, 'NEAREST_POINTS' : 1, 'OUTPUT' : 'C:/Test/finalDistance.csv' })

Answer 1

First, for QGIS3 it is important to have a proper environment. You'll find a solution in the osgeo4w/bin directory. Inside there is a template for calling python.exe with that environment (it is called python-qgis.bat.tmpl or, if it is already renamed, python-qgis.bat).

Second, a standalone pyqgis script has to "prepare" or init a pyqgis app, analog to a qt5 app. There is a description for writing standalone scripts in the pyqgis developer cookbook

And finally call that script through the batch file created in the first step.

• ps1: Can i get source from where i can learn this right from starting ?
• Andreas Müller: The pyqgis developer cookbook is right place to start, i would say.
• ps1: Okay thank you :) How long it will take to devlop this.? Like a month is it too heavy or lengthy to make? I have a deadline to be met that why
• Andreas Müller: It isn't that complicated, in the best case it just wraps your code above.
• ps1: Muller Hi, I am still stuck can you guide me in easy way gis.stackexchange.com/questions/297428/… please
