Hi,
I am a bit confused right now about a possible difference in encoding
attribute value that I have noticed between those two drivers (MapInfo File
vs ESRI Shapefile).
I have a script that allow user to export some features from database to
shapefile or MapInfo TAB format. However, in MapInfo TAB the attributes are
not encoded correctly in utf-8, contrary than shapefiles.
The same data and the same code is used, and I am starting to think that
the difference is coming from inside the OGR drivers.
OGRFeature.SetField("FiedlName", value.encode('utf-8')) #value is unicode
Anybody have information about this issue? I dont really know where to look.
