*Note*: When compiling Mapnik from source only the PostGIS, Raster, and Shape plugins will be compiled by default.
To request additional plugins to be compiled and installed make sure you have the required dependencies and then specify the list of plugins for SCons to build:
#!sh
# attempt to build all plugins possible
$ python scons/scons.py INPUT_PLUGINS='all'
# build just the postgis plugin:
$ python scons/scons.py INPUT_PLUGINS='postgis'
```sh
# attempt to build all plugins possible
$ python scons/scons.py INPUT_PLUGINS='all'
# build just the postgis plugin:
$ python scons/scons.py INPUT_PLUGINS='postgis'
```
= Querying plugins =
If you compiled Mapnik with DEBUG=True, then the list of plugins registered by the python bindings will during initial import:
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:17)
>>> import mapnik
registered datasource : gdal
registered datasource : raster
registered datasource : shape
```
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:17)
>>> import mapnik
registered datasource : gdal
registered datasource : raster
registered datasource : shape
```
Otherwise, get a listing of available plugins with this command:
$ python -c "from mapnik import DatasourceCache as c; print ','.join(c.plugin_names())"
```sh
$ python -c "from mapnik import DatasourceCache as c; print ','.join(c.plugin_names())"
These are the registered datasource plugins that Mapnik's python binding currently knows about.
