Hi, Detection of gdal version in python using the following method fails when using gdal-1.10 .
>>> print gdal.VersionInfo("RELEASE_NAME") 1.10dev >>> print( gdal.VersionInfo("RELEASE_NAME") >= "1.7" ) False >>> print( gdal.VersionInfo("RELEASE_NAME") >= "1.10" ) True What is the recommended way to test for previous versions of gdal that is backwards compatible and that support 1.10? The following seems to work using VERSION_NUM: in 1.10dev: >>> gdal.VersionInfo("VERSION_NUM") '1100000' >>> print( int(gdal.VersionInfo("VERSION_NUM")) >= 1900 ) True >>> print( int(gdal.VersionInfo("VERSION_NUM")) >= 1100000 ) True and in 1.9.2: >>> print( int(gdal.VersionInfo("VERSION_NUM")) >= 1900 ) True >>> print( int(gdal.VersionInfo("VERSION_NUM")) >= 1100000 ) False thanks, Etienne _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
