[gdal-dev] Checking if a label exists in a HDF file

[Anton Korosov]

Hi Antonio!

In python you'll probably have to open the dataset, loop through all 
bands, fetch description (or metadata) from each band and then decide if 
the required band exists.

f = 
gdal.Open('HDF4_EOS:EOS_SWATH:"MOD021KM.A2010105.2120.005.2010106075131.hdf":MODIS_SWATH_Type_L1B:EV_1KM_RefSB')
b = f.GetRasterBand(1)
b.GetDescription()
print b
...
'Earth View 1KM Reflective Solar Bands Scaled Integers'
