<h2>GRASS SWIG/PYTHON interface</h2>

At the moment a prototype is implemented. It permits to use
some GRASS library functions directly from the PYTHON programming language.

<h3>Status of GRASS SWIG/PYTHON implementation</h3>

At the moment a prototype is implemented. There is a 
"swig" module with a series of separate sub-modules available:

<ul>
<li> arraystats.i
<li> cluster.i
<li> common.i
<li> date.i
<li> dbmi.i
<li> display.i
<li> g3d.i
<li> grass.i
<li> imagery.i
<li> math.i
<li> my_typemaps.i
<li> proj.i
<li> raster.i
<li> stats.i
<li> trans.i
<li> utils.i
<li> vector.i
<li> vedit.i
</ul>

<h3>Usage</h3>

These can be imported individually with e.g. "import swig.grass", or the
user can import all of them with "import swig" (then use e.g.
swig.grass.G_gisinit etc), or it can be used e.g. "from swig.grass import *"
to import all names from a module. The latter can be done for multiple
modules, but currently, there's no way to import names from all sub-modules
of a module with a single command. 


<h3>Examples</h3>

<ul>
<li> examples/m.distance.py
<li> examples/rasteraccess.py
<li> examples/vectoraccess.py
<li> test.py
</ul>
