The main looping idiom in Python is "for ... in ...", e.g.:

	for n in xrange(1, 5):
	    i = str(n)

Also:

flags="-o" isn't valid; it happens to work due to an implementation
detail, but that could change, and won't work if you need to use any
other flags. If you want to enable the --overwrite flag, use:

>          grass.run_command(
>              'v.patch', overwrite=True,

Similarly for --quiet and --verbose.

For now, the best references for the GRASS-Python scripting library
are its source code and the existing scripts in 7.0.
