Sample script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os, sys
from grass.lib import grass
from ctypes import *

grass.G_gisinit(sys.argv[0])

mapset = grass.G_find_raster2("elevation", "")
print mapset

Result:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/martin/smetiste/example7.py", line 8, in <module>
    mapset = grass.G_find_raster2("elevation", "")
TypeError: __init__ expected at most 1 arguments, got 3
