#3010: PyGRASS fails to write vector map with attributes
----------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  annakrat  |      Owner:  grass-dev@…
     Type:  defect    |     Status:  new
 Priority:  major     |  Milestone:  7.1.0
Component:  PyGRASS   |    Version:  svn-trunk
 Keywords:  vector    |        CPU:  Unspecified
 Platform:  All       |
----------------------+-------------------------
 Example taken from a workshop material:

 {{{
 from grass.pygrass.vector import VectorTopo
 from grass.pygrass.vector.geometry import Point
 point1 = Point(635818.8, 221342.4)
 point2 = Point(633627.7, 227050.2)
 cols = [(u'cat',       'INTEGER PRIMARY KEY'),
         (u'name',      'TEXT')]

 with VectorTopo('my_points', mode='w', tab_cols=cols, overwrite=True) as
 my_points:
     # save the point and the attribute
     my_points.write(point1, ('pub', ))
     my_points.write(point2, ('restaurant', ))
     # save the changes to the database
     my_points.table.conn.commit()
 }}}

 gives:

 {{{

 Works in 7.0.4.
