[gdal-dev] Are unicode field values supported in the Python bindings for GDAL?

[Roy Hyunjin Han]

Hi Andrey,

Do you know what is the status of native unicode/utf-8 support in GDAL?

Currently, using the Python SWIG bindings for GDAL 1.9.0,

   feature.SetField(0, u'xxx')

raises the following exception

   NotImplementedError: Wrong number of arguments for overloaded
function 'Feature_SetField'
