[Mapserver-users] Creating dynamic shapefiles with Python Mapscript

Well, actually that should work, but not with the shapefileobj, the 
filename of you newly created shapefile is enough (you probably have to 
"close" the new shapefile with shapefileObj=None before). Otherwise if 
you only want to add some features to the layerobj, you can use 
layerobj.addFeature, that only takes a shapeobj, so you don't need a 
shapefileobj.
