[gdal-dev] Python API

[Jeremy Palmer]

Hi All,

I've got a few questions about the support and future of some method calls within the OGR Python API.

1/ What is preferred way to method to access geometries from features? is it feature.geometry() or feature.GetGeometryRef()? "geometry()" seems funny as it's not well documented and is not declared using camel case (or at least starting with a capital letter). Is this going to be well supported in the future?

2/ Is accessing feature field values via the pythonic attribute interface (i.e feature['myatt'] or feature['myatt'] = 1) the preferred way? Also is this API going to be well supported in the future?

3/ Following on from discussion about destroy() from geo.org/gdal/wiki/PythonGotchas, can it be confirmed if you need to call destroy at 'all' on OGR objects with GDAL/OGR 1.9? Can some examples be given?

Thanks,
Jeremy
