Hi List,

I was trying to use python mapscript to write a small 'getid' cgi for some shapefile. Very nice to be able to open a shapefile etc in a few lines! But tring to get the layer.queryByPoint method failed. It returns 0 (aka success), but getResults() returns always 0. Same when I load this layer from within a mapserver-mapfile. But loading this same mapfile in mapserver, returns a hit on this point.

Found this ticket:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1766
which is 1 year old.

I'm using fwtools 1.4 on windows for this.

My Question:
- anybody a good working example of layer.queryByPoint?
- is the python mapscript interface still being tested/developed? Or is it 'old stuff' not to be used anymore? (I'm not too much into C/swig/python, so debugging this myself is hardly an option :-( )

TIA

Richard Duivenvoorde
