pySW4 does not encode projection string correctly in write_hdr

[firstkingofrome]

Issue: pySW4 does not convert projection strings to bytes when using write_hdr function from rfileIO Work Around: manually cast projection string before calling write header, i.e. write_hdr(file,1, 4, 1, 0, 3.5, 28.0, proj_str.encode(),1): Solution: in write_hddr function encode the projection string before attempting to save it to the file

Are you using Python 3? (No idea if the code even works on Python 3 though..)

Yes, I am using python 3.4.3, I didn't realize python3 wasn't supported (most of the code seems to work fine on python3, this is the first issue that I have encountered).

I see. Probably there might be more similar problems down the road on Python 3..

In principle those should be easy to fix, just properly need to decode/encode strings coming in/out of pySW4. Somebody would have to work on it though, I won't have time to do so..

Indeed an easy fix... I will work on it later this week... at EGU at the moment...

Ok Thank you (I am probably just going to stick with python 2 because I have also run into some more complicated issues with GDAL under python 3).

I think we should keep this open as a reminder..

[shaharkadmiel]

should be fixed in master
