  1. .. PyGrass documentation master file, created by
  2. sphinx-quickstart2 on Sat Jun 16 18:53:32 2012.
  3. You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least
  4. contain the root `toctree` directive.
  5. PyGRASS documentation!
  6. ===================================
  7. ``PyGRASS`` improves the integration between GRASS GIS and Python, making
  8. the use of Python under GRASS more consistent with the language itself. Furthermore,
  9. it simplifies GRASS scripting and programming and more natural for the user.
  10. Background: In 2006, GRASS GIS developers started to adopt Python for the new GUI. Due
  11. to this Python became more and more important and developers converted all
  12. shell scripts from GRASS GIS 6 to Python for GRASS GIS 7.
  13. To work with ``PyGRASS`` you need an up-to-date version of GRASS GIS 7.
  14. The only action before starting to work with ``PyGRASS`` is to launch
  15. GRASS GIS 7 and from the console launch ``python`` or ``ipython``
  16. (the second one is the recommended way)
