How to convert from kml to GeoJson with python3

To do it, you can import ogr from osgeo

from osgeo import ogr

 def kml2geojson(kml_file):
    drv = ogr.GetDriverByName('KML')
    kml_ds = drv.Open(kml_file)
    for kml_lyr in kml_ds:
        for feat in kml_lyr:
            print feat.ExportToJson()

 kml2geojson('/path/to/your.kml')

But, if you try to run it, maybe you will see the following error:

ImportError: No module named 'osgeo'

This means that you need gdal libraries. If you try to install it with pip3 you will see the following:

pip3 install gdal
...
cc1plus: warning: command line option ‘-Wstrict-prototypes’ is valid for C/ObjC but not for C++
    extensions/gdal_wrap.cpp:3168:22: fatal error: cpl_port.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.
    error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

 We search which pakage includes cpl_port.h:

apt-file search cpl_port.h   
libgdal-dev: /usr/include/gdal/cpl_port.h

After install python3-gdal and libgdal-dev you will see that you get the same error.
This occurs because you have an older gdal version (you can see your gdal version with apt-cache show python3-gdal | grep Version)
To upgrade to a newer version, you need to do the following steps:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-gdal

Enjoy it!

UPDATE:
The python3 example, doesn't provide a full funtional file.
If you want a simple solution, you can use togeojson, just run this command:

npm install -g @mapbox/togeojson
togeojson file.kml > file.geojson

You can test the geojson file in http://geojson.io

How to fix Android when developer options are not available for this user

Image
I have an Android One with Oreo version and suddenly my Android rebooted and after that it started to behave strangely: 1) Notification section doesn't work. I can't see notifications from my apps and the arrow and the screw icon to settings access don't work. 2) As I can't access to the notification area, I can't enable Use USB to Transfer Files to access to my phone memory. 3) I can't access to developer mode (I before active it with a lot of taps over Build number). Clicking on developer options just shows developer options are not available to this user. 4) I can't update or install the apps on google play. They freeze on Download pending... message 5) Home and Switch buttons don't work. They light up and vibrate when I tap them but they do nothing. This issue is apparently related to a deconfiguration of user accounts. To fix it, you need re-setup the users. As you can't access to the user manager (you are in guest mode
