Due to randomness of garbage collection with geometry objects, it's
easier to simply ignore AttributeError/TypeError generally raised when
parts of objects are already garbage-collected.
Thanks Sergey Fedoseev and Tim Graham for reviewing the patch.
The first try to solve the Python 3 GIS encoding/decoding issue
was too naive. Using decode() on all read strings is bound to fail
as soon as a non-ascii string is concerned.
This patch is a little more clever, leaving ascii decoding when
plain ascii strings are expected, and allowing to specify a custom
encoding in DataSource hierarchy.
* All C API method explictly called from their prototype module, no longer imported via *.
* Applied DRY to C pointer management, classes that do so subclass from `GDALBase`.
* `OGRGeometry`: Added `from_bbox` class method (patch from Christopher Schmidt) and `kml` property.
* `SpatialReference`: Now initialize with `SetFromUserInput` (initialization is now more simple and flexible); removed duplicate methods.
* `Envelope`: Added `expand_to_include` method and now allow same coordinates for lower left and upper right points. Thanks to Paul Smith for tickets and patches.
* `OGRGeomType`: Now treat OGC 'Geometry' type as 'Unknown'.
Fixed#9855, #10368, #10380. Refs #9806.
