Re: [GRASS-user] GRASS'c Python core function to use as g.mlist

2011-03-14 Thread Jenny Turner
Hello Ricardo
Thanks for your feedback but the problem is that mapset cannot be used as
input.
Because I got this error:
p=grass.mlist_grouped ('rast', pattern=pattern,
mapset='PERMANENT')
TypeError: mlist_grouped() got an unexpected keyword
argument 'mapset'.
If I avoid using mapset I get a dictionary variable in which, each entry is
the list of rasters for each MAPSET.

Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Jenny

 Hi Jenny

 Long story short: use your command like this (note the asterisk on the
 'pattern' variable):

 # python code
 p=grass.mlist_grouped ('rast', pattern='output*', mapset='Mapping')


 I am using the Ipython shell to script grass. It has a cool feature,
 that if you type the name of a function followed by two question
 marks, you can see the source code of the function (as long as it is
 coded in python itself).
 So, in doing:

 grass.mlist_grouped??

 It is possible to see that the mlist_grouped function is internally
 calling the 'g.mlist' command with only the 'm' flag.

 Reading the documentation for the g.mlist command [1], I realize that,
 without using the -r or -e flags, this command accepts wildcards[2] as
 the 'pattern' string. The asterisk (*) is the wildcard character for
 substituting for any zero or more characters. So, in order to get a
 string that starts with 'output' and after that can have anything, you
 just type 'output*'

Hi Jenny

 Because I got this error:
 p=grass.mlist_grouped ('rast', pattern=pattern,
 mapset='PERMANENT')

This command runs fine on my system (by replacing 'pattern' with a
valid pattern string'). Maybe it is a version problem? I'm running
GRASS 6.4.0 on Ubuntu 10.10, coming from the ubuntugis-unstable
repository.

 If I avoid using mapset I get a dictionary variable in which, each entry is
 the list of rasters for each MAPSET.

Maybe you can solve your problem by discarding the rest of the output.
If you only want the rasters present in the 'PERMANENT' mapset and
since mlist_grouped returns a dictionary with mapset names as keys,
you can keep just the value associated with the 'PERMANENT' key. So,
you can just do:

# returns a list with rasters present in the 'PERMANENT' mapset
p = grass.mlist_grouped('rast', pattern=pattern)['PERMANENT']
