[GRASS-dev] "Parameter <layer>, require: string" in v.db.dropcolumn

[Nikos Alexandris]

Hi all!

Using "v.db.dropcolumn" within from latest "grass_trunk", 

I wonder why the "layer" parameter in "v.db.dropcolumn" is required to be a 
string as stated in an error message while trying to run a py-grass script:

--%<---
File "/geo/osgeo/src/grass_trunk/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-
gnu/etc/python/grass/pygrass/modules/__init__.py", line 466, in __call__
    self.inputs[key].value = val

  File "/geo/osgeo/src/grass_trunk/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-
gnu/etc/python/grass/pygrass/modules/__init__.py", line 182, in _set_value
    raise TypeError(str_err % (self.name, self.typedesc, type(value)))

TypeError: The Parameter <layer>, require: string, get: <type 'int'> instead
-->%---

Shouldn't the "layer" parameter be simply an integer?

Thanks, Nikos
