The module ""otbApplication"" loads plugins currently located in /usr/lib/otb/applications. They are named 'otbapp_Something.dylib'. For them to be properly detected and loaded, the env var ITK_AUTOLOAD_PATH must be set to /usr/lib/otb/applications before loading python. Not convenient at all. To ease the process, I updated the debian package recently to : - install in a subdir of ""site-package"" with OTB_INSTALL_PYTHON_DIR, and not in site-package directly - create an `__init__.py` at install time which import the right thing and then set up the env var. Something similar shall be done in the Portfile. The `__init__.py` file content can be found here: http://hg.orfeo-toolbox.org/OTB-DevUtils/file/tip/Packaging/ubuntu/OTB/debian/python-otb.postinst ",enhancement,closed,Normal,,ports,,fixed,,,orfeotoolbox
