[gdal-dev] python bindings: strange behavior with layer

[Pinner, Luke]

The datasource "ds" is still going out of scope as it is local to your
"getLayer2" function.
Lots of ways to avoid this. Try not wrapping it up in a function, or
return a tuple of datasource and layer e.g.

def getDSandLayer(shape_fullname):
    ds = ogr.Open(shape_fullname, 0)
    layer = ds.GetLayer(0)
    print 'Name from method: %s' % layer.GetName()
    return ds,layer;

ds,layer = getLayer2('output/myshape.shp')
print 'Name from main: %s' % layer.GetName()
