[GRASS5] Python binding for Grass library

Hello,
Its a much discussed issue, I check almost all prvious discussions on it.
Python bindings was developed
and is available at ftp://intevation.de/users/bernhard/libgrass5/
I didnt used it, and has no Idea about its working. But now it is four
years old.

But python binding for libgrass (and for grass modules, if possible)
is really helpful, and I think will result in more contribution to grass
(Developing a model in python is very very easy, for researchers).

So I wish to know is there any other python binding exists for libgrass,
or is someone working on it.

Currently I dont have any idea about how to create python bindings..
Can someone suggest on this? I can spend some time for this...

Bye

Hello all,
   I managed to make python bindings for few functions from grass api.
(Which were needed for my application). I used "swig" program for this.
The same was used on the existing (old) module too...
Now I can implement my program in python using grass api.

Using swing, writing python binding for the whole Grass API is not
too difficult, but involves some work. I am trying for this. For this,
I need advice on following

1. Which all functions need to be included in the bindings?
    Many functions like G_alloc()... may not be needed in python.

2. Should we make a single binding for the whole grass api
    or should it be broken to parts (Based on grass library)

One more fact: Swing directly supports all the scripting languages
like perl,php etc. Hence if we make binding for python, creating binding
for other languages will be very easy

Bye Bye
