Me too.

But which conda package for gdal are you using - there are a lot of ones
out there.

Are you using conda install -c conda-forge gdal ?

It should be version 3.1.4 at the moment ?

Also - I don't know if this is part of it but ...

"srs = osr.SpatialReference()
srs.SetUTM(11, 1)
srs.SetWellKnownGeogCS("NAD27")
dst_ds.SetProjection(srs.ExportToWkt())
"

why not just

"srs = osr.SpatialReference()
srs.SetUTM(11, 1)
srs.SetWellKnownGeogCS("NAD27")
dst_ds.SetSpatialRef(srs)
"
??
