Jan,

I think I have written the test improperly.  I am not seeing problems
because I am using the next generation API.  Starting on line 677 of
the test script, the ShapeObjTestCase should be changed to

class ShapeObjTestCase(MapPrimitivesTestCase):
     """Base class for shapeObj tests"""

     def copyShape(self, shape):
         """Try to copy using next generation API, else fall back to
         standard API"""
         try:
             return shape.copy()
         except TypeError:
             s = mapscript.shapeObj(shape.type)
             shape.copy(s)
             return s
         except:
             raise

Please reply when you try this and I'll make sure the change gets
into the final 4.2 release.

cheers,
Sean
