Comment(by annakrat):

 Module v.what should output the result in a more hierarchical way,
 otherwise it's really difficult to parse. The grass.vector_what function
 was rewritten multiple times and it's still not correct. I suggest adding
 another format, the easiest is json, it's easy to write and python can
 read it too (json package). xml would be much more difficult. I already
 started it, I just need more time for testing.
