access to python swig bindingsa from outside of a grass session

[mulligan]

The SWIG bindings to Python are very useful from inside GRASS but would be much more powerful if python could access GRASS functions from outside a grass session.

I note the following in the TODO file at ​http://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/develbranch_6/swig/python/TODO: ""

• enable calls from outside GRASS

"" If this is now possible (in 6.4.0 or 7.0.0) could a relevant example be posted to show how we can access from outside a grass session?

Many thanks

This would be good and could be explained later at

you just need some environment variables set to mimic a grass session.

SWIG support is removed, try ctypes in devel versions of GRASS instead.
