I am using PointField to store longitude and latitude with SRID 4326.
All my places are in USA. Now, given a reference point, I do
lat = "41.881944"
lng = "-87.627778"
ref_pnt = fromstr("POINT(%s %s)" % (lng, lat))
You have probably mixed up latitude and longitude. First pass lat, then lng.
DatabaseError: Coordinate values are out of range [-180 -90,
180 90] for GEOGRAHY type
Only thing that springs to mind is that web-mercator coordinates
(="google") don't work from latitude 85 upwards and -85 downwards (so,
on the two poles). And as you swapped lat/lon, the 87 value ends up as
latitude. Long shot...
Another wild guess: print the value of ref_pnt. So what comes out of
fromstr(). Is that really the correct value? Is there some
number-formatting mishap that treats points differently?
Wild guesses...
