Geographic Information Systems Asked on August 11, 2021
I learned that I need to close objects that I open, usually using a with open():
statement that does the closing for you after leaving it. With GDAL/OGR, this does not work and objects must be closed manually. In GDAL, this works by
from osgeo import gdal
ds = gdal.Open(MY_FILE, gdal.GA_ReadOnly)
ds = None
With OGR, I found two ways to do that:
from osgeo import ogr
ds = ogr.Open(MY_FILE)
ds = None
# outputs:
# R6025
# - pure virtual function call
# crashes the debugger
ds.Destroy()
# same
While it seems to work fine with both methods when I run the full script, it crashes my debugger when I run it in debug mode (PyCharm, in my case). In the console, ds = None
seems to work, while ds.Destroy()
crashes the whole console with the Pure virtual function call
output.
Is this specific to PyCharm or am I doing something essentially wrong?
It seems that the problem is related to PyCharm. I have tested it in Anaconda/Spyder and VS Code without a problem.
As I recall properly, the only way of 'closing' a file with GDAL is with
from osgeo import ogr
file = ogr.Open(MY_FILE)
file = None
