Wow,
looks great.

O question on this here:
> Improved Python API:     * read/write GRASS rasters to/from NumPy
How do I trigger this?

Will a command r.out.numpy save the raster in a pickled array?
How will the geographic information be retrained?

This gives a big potential for plotting with basemap!

Is such a feature also planned for vectors? They could be exported to a
format usable by Shaply...
