Hi, before anyone spends any time porting r.in.wms/r.tileset to python, I would suggest that it be substantially rewritten from the ground up, requiring GDAL 1.5+'s WMS import filter instead of our own brittle wget/curl solution. This requires writing a small XML template with the pararms: http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms.html
The tile mosaic nightmare for paletted images might be outsourced to GDAL's gdal_merge.py: http://www.gdal.org/gdal_merge.html (ie merge then import, not the other way around) I assume python has some great built in libexpat stuff for managing XML. This could really help with the download list available capabilities, again the current self-parsing works, but is pushing the boundaries of what a bash script should be asked to do (and it shows). Hopefully the thing can be greatly simplified in the process. The current solution mostly works, but maintaining it feels a bit like a game of whack-a-mole. Perhaps there is some overlap with v.in.wfs as well? (currently relies on lynx, which I guess is not commonly installed with MS-Windows..)
