Idea of v.edit is to be a CLI backend for future v.digit. I do not
know, if swig sollution would not be better. But we have to build new
map display using wxPython to be able to develop something

currently, one limitation does v.edit have. topology needs to be build
after every editing. This will make it unusable for large rasters. but
IMHO we do not need to build whole topology, we need just something to
be able to use functions like Vect_find_line,
Vect_select_lines_by_box, and so on
