[gdal-dev] Rasterize command works from utility but not Python binding

[Deschamps, Benjamin (EC)]

Hi everyone,

I am burning values from a KMZ into an existing GeoTiff. When I do it on the command line using gdal_rasterize (2.1.3), it works correctly:

gdal_rasterize -burn 0 -dialect SQLITE -sql "SELECT * FROM MyLayer WHERE (Name IS NOT '01') AND (Name IS NOT '02')" myfile.kmz existingfile.tif

But when I try the same, from the Python bindings it fails:

query = "SELECT * FROM IceLayer WHERE (Name IS NOT '01') AND (Name IS NOT '02')"
myoptions = gdal.RasterizeOptions(burnValues=0, SQLStatement=query, SQLDialect="SQLITE")
gdal.Rasterize(tif, kmz, options=myoptions)

With:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_script.py", line 65, in <module>
    create_ids_mask(lcc, working_dir, buffered_coastline)
  File "my_script.py", line 54, in my_function
    gdal.Rasterize(tif, kmz, options=myoptions)
  File "c:\Python36\lib\site-packages\osgeo\gdal.py", line 1085, in Rasterize
    return wrapper_GDALRasterizeDestName(destNameOrDestDS, srcDS, opts, callback, callback_data)
  File "c:\Python36\lib\site-packages\osgeo\gdal.py", line 3050, in wrapper_GDALRasterizeDestName
   return _gdal.wrapper_GDALRasterizeDestName(*args)
RuntimeError: Cannot create X:\localpath\existingfile.tif

I checked that the paths are correctly passed. What else could be the issue?

Thanks,
