[gdal-dev] VSIF and Python

[Frank Broniewski]

Hi,

I wanted to try the VSIF* functions that are mentioned in the docs [1]. 
I am using gdal (and python-gdal) from debian testing, which is version 
1.7.?. The VSIF* functions are "not found", so I presume they are 
available with gdal >= 1.8 only?

I found [2], which is pretty much what I want to do: read geodata with 
ogr, do some work with it and dump the result, in case of a text file 
format, to string instead to file. Right now I am doing the same with an 
extra step (save the result to file and read it again with python).
There's no way to inject a file like object (file, stringio) to gdal 
instead of path names, isn't there?

Thanks

Frank
