[GRASS-dev] Reading Points File

[Michael Barton]

POINTS files are simple ascii files and can be read by any text  
processor or programming language.

If you mean, can Python read and write to a POINTS file, the answer is  
yes. That is exactly what happens in the georectifying module. Nothing  
special needed. Just create and open a Python file object. You can  
read or write. They are simple to parse too. Take a look at one in a  
text processor. You can look at the georectifying code in the wxPython  
GUI too.
