[gdal-dev] question on gdal.py vs gdal.h (C vs python bindings) on Using Create()

[Jared Rubin]

Why is it that the   C/C++ options allow for sending a char** of options but 
the python version doesn't? The C/C++  is useful for sending metatdata to the 
driver, but I can't do this with the python version?
thanks
