[QGIS-Developer] closestSegmentWithContext() with epsilon in Python

[Radim Blazek]

Hi,

I found that closestSegmentWithContext() in Python is useless for
geometries in geographic crs, because small squared distances are set
to zero because of epsilon threshold. See for example:

points are not assigned to lines correctly because square distances are wrong.

Would it be possible to add epsilon as keyword argument to
closestSegmentWithContext() and possibly other methods taking epsilon
in C++?

I am not sip/python expert, no idea how to do that.

Thanks
