Public bug reported: When using the GDAL python API (package pyhon3-gdal), attempting to access the data type of a loaded raster's band (via the property DataType) throws the exception: "in method 'Band_DataType_get', argument 1 of type 'GDALRasterBandShadow *'"
The issue was limited (in my case) to Ubuntu 24.04. Discovered on a month-old installation, and reproduced on a second machine using the Ubuntu live (running from a thumb drive) environment with freshly fetched packages (version 3.8.4+dfsg-3ubuntu3). When running the same test code on an Ubuntu 22.04 installation (latest available python3-gdal version is 3.4.1+dfsg-1build4) for the same raster, it produces the correct output without throwing any exceptions. A simple python code to test this: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from osgeo import gdal from osgeo.gdalconst import GA_ReadOnly try: rasterDataType = gdal.Open("/path/to/some/raster", GA_ReadOnly).GetRasterBand(1).DataType except Exception as e: print(e) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Several datasets were used in testing. e.g. Landast 8 Collection 2 Level 2 rasters, obtained from https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov (P.S: This is my first ever bug report. Would appreciate the patience and advice regarding any mistakes or missing information.
