That was a bit out of date, so I've replaced it with an actual script
(d.shadedmap) from the current GRASS SVN trunk.

6.4 and 7.0 include a Python module (named "grass") which provides
various utility functions for writing GRASS scripts in Python.

The best available documentation for this module is the code itself
(lib/python/grass.py in 6.4 and 7.0) and the scripts which use it
(scripts/*/*.py, currently only in 7.0). There is also a README file
(lib/python/README.txt).
