Thanks Leonel,
I'd actually seen that solution, but that is specifically validating that
the coordinates of a Point(X Y) WKT string are in the domain of a
geographic coordinate system. I'm interested in the more general assessment
of whether an alleged WKT string is well formatted - could be any of the
geometry types.
My solution doesn't actually work without importing the Exception - and
those are specific to backends. This fixes it, but is this the best way to
catch the error in a general way?
if geometry is not None:
try:
geo_wkb = db.executesql("select
st_geomfromtext('{}');".format(geometry))
except db._adapter.driver.ProgrammingError:
raise HTTP(404, "Invalid WKT Geometry")
Cheers,
David
