[gdal-dev] gdal/proj4 and gtk, SpatialReference.setFromUserInput bug

[Even Rouault]

> Does someone have a clue about what's happening ?

Yes,

this is due to the "import gtk" setting the locale from the C locale to the 
locale of the language of your system, which has likely comma has the decimal 
separator. There are a few places in GDAL/OGR that are not ready (yet) for 
that.

You can workaround the issue with the following :

"""
from osgeo import osr
import gtk
sp = osr.SpatialReference()

# Save current locale and switch to C locale
import locale
old_locale = locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, None)
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C')

sp.SetFromUserInput("IGNF:LAMB2C")

# Restore old locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, old_locale)

print sp
"""

I'll look to do the same fix in GDAL itself.
