[gdal-dev] GetProjection returns empty string, python 3.7

[Paul Harwood]

I am not sure why you are using GetProjection and not GetSpatialRef ?
Although, the code snippet you included in your email does not seem to use
either?

I certainly was in the process of working on some code that uses
.GeoSptialRef very successfully on GDAL3.1.3 - so I am sure that it is
working!
