[Gdal-dev] Python and GDAL drivers

[Ivan Lucena]

Hi there,

Is there any reason for not getting the same list of drivers from the
python extension as from the API or gdalinfo?

>From Python I got 50 drivers:

> import gdal
> gdal.AllRegister()
> for i in range(1, gdal.GetDriverCount()):
... 	drv = gdal.GetDriver(i)
... 	drv.GetDescription()
'GTiff'
'NITF'
...

>From gdalInfo I got 53:

> gdalinfo --formats
VRT (rw+): Virtual Raster
GTiff (rw+): GeoTIFF
NITF (rw+): National Imagery Transmission Format
...

I also got the 53s when accessing GDAL through the API.

So "RST" for example, is not available through python:

> ds = gdal.Open('....rst')
> print ds
None

Do I need to re-run the swig wrappers? How?

Thanks in advance,
