[GRASS-dev] D:M:Sh to decimal degrees fn in python

[Hamish]

Hi,

before starting the port from C, has anyone written a D:M:Sh to decimal
degrees function in python? This is for the location wizard region
setting page, but would go in the main core.py or gui_modules/utils.py so
available to anything that wants it.

alternately (preferably?) I could easily use G_lat_scan() etc. via Swig,
but I'm not sure how welcome swig is in the main pyGUIs. (I suspect not)


hmmm, actually I don't think it is needed; we can just test the string
for basic syntax and then just write it out as-is.
