Matt,

The Python (and other swig bindings) use the "simplified" C API 
for accessing geometry.  The downside to this is it doesn't match the
C++ API well and isn't really properly documented.  It would nice
to have some generic docs that would explain this for all the swig
interfaces to OGR Geometries.

Best regards,
