pyqgis - Using QGIS API and Python, to return latitude and longitude of point?

I have a point layer, that I'd like to return the Longitude, latitude using the QGIS API and Python.

How do I use QgsPoint to do that?

Answer

This works on the latest release 'Tethys'.

The point layer that I am interested in is the first layer in my layer list. The coordinate values will be in the units of the spatial reference system of the layer. If your layer is in lat/lon, remember that x=lon and y=lat...

Open the Python Console and type this:

from qgis.utils import iface

feat = QgsFeature()

mc = iface.mapCanvas()
layer = mc.layer(0)
provider = layer.dataProvider()
provider.select()

while(provider.nextFeature(feat)):
    geometry = feat.geometry()
    print "X Coord %d: " %geometry.asPoint().x()
    print "Y Coord %d: " %geometry.asPoint().y()
    print
