[postgis-users] How do I parse postGIS types in my app code?

[W. Matthew Wilson]

I have a column with type geography('point').

When I load the contents of that column into python, I get something like this:

'0101000020E6100000D0A39872F4E955C0D66EBBD05CF94440'

I know how to use the ST_X and ST_Y functions in order to extract
latitude and longitude (thanks to this list, BTW) but sometimes I
would like to not have to do that in SQL.

Any ideas?

Matt
