[gdal-dev] promote_to_multi and python API

[Kai Mühlbauer]

Hi Martin,

not sure if this helps you, but "PROMOTE_TO_MULTI" can be added as 
option with several OGR functions with the Python API (eg. Intersection, 
Update, Identity etc.).

See https://gdal.org/python/osgeo.ogr.Layer-class.html

HTH,
Kai
