 files written

 That's correct. There isn't a python_grass7 module any more; instead there
 is a "swig" module with 10 separate sub-modules named:

 utils date grass math proj imagery vector raster display stats

 These can be imported individually with e.g. "import swig.grass", or you
 can import all of them with "import swig" (then use e.g.
 swig.grass.G_gisinit etc), or you can use e.g. "from swig.grass import *"
 to import all names from a module. You can do the latter for multiple
 modules, but AFAIK, there's no way to import names from all sub-modules of
 a module with a single command. OTOH, it wouldn't be hard to add an "all"
 sub-module which does "from <submodule> import *" for each submodule.

 Suggestions about the ideal structure for the Python interface are
 welcome. AFAICT, the previous structure was just the quickest way to get
 something working, rather than an explicit design choice.

 That's a successful compilation.
