Hi,

Traceback (most recent call last):

File

cols = [f[0] for f in grass.db_describe()['cols']]
TypeError: db_describe() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)
-%<--

Shouldn't the "grass.db_describe()" [2] command fed with an argument
(e.g. the "table" string [1])? Not sure though since I am very beginner
with Python.

yes, see [1].

[1] cat -n db.dropcolumn.py | grep 'table = options'
54 table = options['table']

[2] cat -n db.dropcolumn.py | grep grass.db_describe
72 cols = [f[0] for f in grass.db_describe()['cols']]
87 for f in grass.db_describe()['cols']:

fixed in r39493 (untested).
