[gdal-dev] Call for discussion on RFC 78: gdal-utils package

[Idan Miara]

Hi All,

I would like to call for discussion on RFC 78: gdal-utils package
<https://github.com/talos-gis/gdal/blob/Branch_rfc78_py_modules/gdal/doc/source/development/rfc/rfc78_gdal_utils_package.rst>
Please give your feedback on this PR.
<https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/3260>
Summary

This RFC suggests to export `osgeo.utils`, `osgeo.auxiliary` (which were
introduced in GDAL 3.2)
outside of the `osgeo` package (which includes the GDAL core bindings),
into a new pure-Python package `osgeo_utils`,
along with any other Python scripts/samples that can be reused.
It shall be distributed in a new `gdal-utils` wheel in `pypi` for smooth
upgrading via `pip install --upgrade gdal-utils`.

For maximum backwards compatibility, The `gdal` distribution wheel would
still include both packages: `osgeo` and `osgeo_utils`.

This RFC does NOT suggest exporting any code into a different repo or
impact any non-Python code.

Kind regards,
Idan Miara
