readshapefile fails on certain filenames

Hi,

(Tested with basemap 1.0.6)

This works:

m.readshapefile('foo.shp', 'my_shape')

while this fails:

m.readshapefile('bar_0.1.shp', 'my_shape')

raise IOError('error reading shapefile %s.shp' % shapefile)
  fields = shf.fields
  coords = []; attributes = []

IOError: error reading shapefile bar_0.1.shp

Note that foo.shp and bar_0.1.shp are exactly the same file except for the filename. So it seems that the additional . causes the problem. Minimal example to reproduce behavior:

Rename huralll020.{shp,dfb,shx} to huralll020_0.1.{shp,dbf,shx} and change filename in examples/hurrtracks.py accordingly. Run hurrtracks.py.

Of course the obvious workaround is not to use . in filenames. But this is somewhat impracticable as I have a large number or files and would like keeping the filenames consistent accross filetypes (netCDF, shapfiles, pngs, etc).

Is there an easy fix?

Thanks very much,

Andy

Comienza con el punto de entrada readshapefile y la reproducción en examples/hurrtracks.py. Cambia el nombre de los componentes del shapefile huralll020 según lo descrito, ejecuta hurrtracks.py y rastrea por qué falla el nombre de archivo con punto. Se considera terminado cuando se pueda leer el mismo shapefile con un nombre de archivo como huralll020_0.1 y el ejemplo existente siga funcionando.
