Ah, good advice hobu. I had set ogr.UseExceptions() in my real code, but
not osr's version. The resulting error is slightly less vague:
>>> firstgeom.Transform(coordTrans)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File
"/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/GDAL-1.7.1-py2.5-linux-x86_64.egg/osgeo/ogr.py",
line 3770, in Transform
return _ogr.Geometry_Transform(self, *args)
RuntimeError: OGR Error: General Error
Without the exceptions, the return was simply the number 6, and I hit
the source to discover that this indicates a general error.
