In Python, calls on a Point geometry cause crash

[lakshmanok]

In Python, calls on a Point geometry cause the interpreter to crash. The Windows error reads "calls on a pure virtual function".

I have attached a bare-bones Python script that will cause the crash. The shapefile that I was using is attached, but the bug is not limited to this shapefile. I believe that the crash happens on any shapefile that contains Points. I was able to reproduce the bug on the point shapefile available at: ​http://invisibleroads.com/tutorials/_downloads/gdal-shapefile-points.zip

thanks Lak

Example shapefile with Points that illustrates the bug

I can't reproduce the crash with your script and data (on Linux 64 bit). Which Windows binaries did you use ?

Thanks for looking into this.

I installed GDAL v 1.10 core from ​http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/Download.aspx?file=release-1600-gdal-1-10-0-mapserver-6-2-1\gdal-110-1600-core.msi and the Python binding ​http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/Download.aspx?file=release-1600-gdal-1-10-0-mapserver-6-2-1\GDAL-1.10.0.win32-py2.7.msi

Hum, I did try with the above binaries (but with Wine, the Windows emulator, under Linux) and still no crash

I swear the script would reliably cause a crash ;)

But now, from a cold start, it doesn't. So I have closed the issue.

Thanks again for looking into it.
