Trying to save an invalid geometry syntax via TextArea widget results in a TemplateSyntaxError

[Haes]

Hi,

if you try to save an invalid geometry syntax via a TextArea widget in
the admin, a TemplateSyntaxError is raised.
Is it possible to catch those exceptions (I've seen OGRException and
GEOSException so far) and raise a ValidationError, so that the
corresponding field is marked as erroneous with an appropriate error
msg?

Thanks for any help.

PS: Unfortunately, the code never enters the form's clean_XX() methods
or I'd be able to catch those exceptions in admin.py myself.

Good suggestion. I've opened an issue here:
