Comment(by martinl):

 Replying to [comment:4 hamish]:
 > perhaps wrongly applied, but G_myname() is using GNAME_MAX for the max
 length (256 chars in gis.h) of the description.

 yes, GNAME_MAX could be replaced by GPATH_MAX (or new GTITLE_MAX) to
 enlarge the buffer.

 > So besides having the newlines removed it should be cut at char 255-1
 for the null terminator(?).

 see changes in location wizard r44754

 > Or better: can python access the #defined values in the C include files
 directly as swig could?

 Could be accessed using ctypes. Currently wxGUI is not using ctypes
 (except of 3D view mode).
