[Gdal-dev] Using OGR Python to analyse stream layers

[Christopher Fonnesbeck]

I have a nice vegetation dynamics simulation model written in python 
that needs to access spatial data for the modelling of disturbances, 
such as floods. I have been trying unsuccessfully to interface with 
GRASS, and so am turning to other options. I was hoping OGR python 
would work, as all that I need to do is locate the nearest stream 
segment to the disturbance, then route the disturbance down the 
network. I'm hoping that someone who is experienced with OGR python can 
provide some advice as to whether this is worth pursuing.

Thanks,
Chris
