A Python sweeps in the GRASS
 
The GRASS project started in the 80s, survived in 90s and entered the 2000 in good
shape, with a multi-disciplinary team of developers and users that characterize
GRASS since its beginning.  As time flows, new software projects and languages enter
the scene, but GRASS still remains a solid sofware system for
storing/processing/retreiving spatially-referenced data, written in C with the chance
of shell for scripting purposes.

Following its design goal "Fill the gap between shell and C", the Python programming
language can give an extra boost on both functionality and extra features to GRASS.

Among the various advantages GRASS project can benefit from Python, it can also give 
an easy access to object oriented programming, allowing to use an object oriented or
a structured programming paradigm as it is needed by the type of implementation.

In 2006 various contributions allowed to experiment first python-GRASS
applications.  A review of what has been done and use of python within GRASS
 will be presented.
