Hi,

I am trying to familiarize myself a bit with python scripting in GRASS. I am
a bit confused about the different approaches that seem possible. More
specifically, there is the pygrass
(http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Python/pygrass) and grass python scripting
library (
http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Python_Scripting_Library). Is there
somewhere a concise description explaining the difference between the two.I tried to explain the different approach in the following article:
Zambelli, P., Gebbert, S., Ciolli, M., 2013. Pygrass: An Object
Oriented Python Application Programming Interface (API) for Geographic
Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS) Geographic Information
System (GIS). ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information 2,
201-219.
http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijgi2010201
http://www.mdpi.com/2220-9964/2/1/201/pdfAnd for writing python scripts (addons), which of these two are a better
option to use (for somebody fairly familiar with GRASS, with some experience
in writing shell or R scripts for GRASS, but with no experience at all with
python).
would be probably useful to put your notes on the wiki. The current
situation is not so clear also for power-users.
