Hi,
would it be possible to also add a convenient core.create_mapset() function?
The code already exists:
gui/wxpython/gis_set.py line 858:
def CreateNewMapset(self, mapset):
....
This would help folks who want to batch-process data and appears to be
the missing piece to completely generate a new location in the Python
way.
thanks
Markus
PS: since it is wxGUI code I hesitate to modify it myself

Is it possible, that create_location() only works *within* a GRASS session?
How would I generate a location in Python when not having the location
yet created but only a SHAPE/.prj file available or a GeoTIFF?
Seems I am overlooking something. Pointers welcome!

HI,
attached a new attempt to generate a new location within a Python
script (goal: batch processing).
All fine except for the fact that GRASS 7 started with -c ... creates
a location but then actually *starts* the session rather than
returning.
How to overcome this issue?
thanks

If you're not within a GRASS session, I wouldn't assume that Python
can even find the grass.script.core package. Or the libraries, or
modules, or anything else.

IMHO, the logical approach is to start a GRASS session with a dummy
database, location and mapset, create the new database, location
and/or mapset, then switch to it with g.mapset.

Agreed.
This should ideally be offered as a Python (wrapper) function.
Meanwhile I found that also the startup script contains a create_new()
location function.
