[gdal-dev] convert shape file to ascii raster

[Oz Nahum]

Hi,
I've been using gdal-rasterize for quite a while now in my python scripts.
It only posses on difficulty to me, since it forces me to use the tiff
format I need to create a template before creating the raster.
Does any one know of a quick way of doing the template? Alternatively, can I
use other pathway to create ascii raster from shape files with out the
creation of templates ?

Can someone direct me to a python solution ?

Many thanks,
