[gdal-dev] Some python learner questions

[Stefan Gofferje]

Morning!

I'm currently trying to learn Python and in my quest to do so, I'm 
trying to rewrite some of bash scripts which use the GDAL tools into 
Python, namely the ones that I use to process Sentinel 2 imagery.

I'm a little bit at a loss on how I would translate gdal_translate's 
scale function into Python, e.g.

gdal_translate -ot Byte -scale ${min} ${max} 0 255 a.tiff a_scaled.tiff

Then, I assume, to replicate the function of gdalcalc, I would have to 
load the bands into numpy arrays, do the calculations with the arrays 
and write those arrays back as bands in a tiff? Or is there a smarter 
way to do that?

BR: Stefan
