Description (last modified by )
Currently, the default __str__
representation of a GEOSGeometry
object is its WKT representation (e.g. "POINT (1 2)"
).
I'd like to suggest moving to the EWKT representation which includes the SRID information (e.g. "SRID=4326;POINT (1 2)"
).
For me, coordinates without SRID is like an encoded string without knowing its encoding, or a datetime object without the timezone.
The change is trivial. There is a small backwards compatibility issue, essentially for people testing the output of str(geom)
, and it also means that the SRID will also appear in dumpdata
output, which is welcome in my opinion.
Comments welcome.
