[GRASS-dev] running grass from python

We're doing it from Java in my lab. So it should be possible from Python. I can ask the RA who is doing the Java programming about it if you're interested.

i'm intersted to know if it is possible to use the grass functionalities directly from python
without the needs to run a grass session from bash.

i think the first thisk i have to do is to set my PYTHONPATH to where i have grass-python libs
then i have to set the grass environment vars (gisenv?)

have you any hints on how to do it (if possible) ?

Working with GRASS without starting it explicitly - GRASS-Wiki

The most important environment variables are GISBASE, GISRC, PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent).
