[Gdal-dev] gdal NG python bindings and deprecation warning

[Frank Warmerdam]

Howard,

I have altered the GDAL NG Python bindings to issue a deprecation warning
for the first import of a non-namespaced module only in a given session.
This is accomplished by reporting the warning through gdal.deprecation_warn()
and having that function maintain a global variable on the gdal module.

This was folks will see the deprecation warning, but won't be overwhelmed by
a flurry of warnings.

Best regards,
--
