Defining Numeric Field Widths about fiona

[sgillies]

Try this on for size:

{ 'code': 'int:10', 
  'length': 'float:12.6' }

Basically just like

>>> print("%10d" % 4)  
         4
>>> print("%12.6f" % 10.0)
   10.000000

Would that work? When reading, however, float precision would be lost unless we used Python decimals.

Hi Sean,

Yeah! That looks really nice and easy. When printing the schema of a dataset would it show { 'code': 'int:10', 'length': 'float:12.6' } ?

That looks great!
