[GRASS-user] using mapcalc in a python script

I am working on converting a shell script to python and ran into a
problem I haven't been able to figure out using the r.mapcalc command.
Can someone let me know how to write the following command using python.
The command creates a GRASS MASK layer:

r.mapcalc "MASK=if(($cloudResampName < 0.01000),1,null())"

I'm trying to run the python script using GRASS 6.40RC6 (2010).

Ned,

the best place to look for (that I can think of right now) is the scripts
directory of grass_trunk (grass7). There are several (if not all?) python
scripts. For example running "grep mapcalc */** | grep .py" within
grass_trunk/scripts gives several hits.

Good luck, Nikos
