<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Context<o:p></o:p></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are trying to reproject a GeoJSON polygon to EPSG:4326.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In some cases, depending on whether we use the ogr2ogr command line or the equivalent in python, the resulting polygon is different.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In those situations, the command line gives us the appropriate polygon, whereas the python code gives us a distorted polygon.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Question<o:p></o:p></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any idea why there is a difference between the command line and the python results? Is there a mistake in our interpretation of the code/how we converted it in python?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Sample GeoJSON</u>: <a href="https://pastebin.com/hUiVVjFv">

<p class="MsoNormal">Proj4: "+proj=stere +lat_0=90 +lat_ts=60 +lon_0=264 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +R=6371229 +units=m +no_defs"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Command line that works</u>: ogr2ogr -s_srs "+proj=stere +lat_0=90 +lat_ts=60 +lon_0=264 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +R=6371229 +units=m +no_defs" -t_srs EPSG:4326 result_command_line.json geojson.json<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Python code</u> (we would expect the same output as the command line):
