[GRASS-user] Using shell and perl scripts via a python script in windows, or better change to Linux?

[Sonja Jankowfsky]

Hello,

I’ve started to develop some pre-processing steps for a hydrological 
model using python scripts with winGRASS 6.4. Now, I got some very 
useful shell and perl scripts including Grass functions developed under 
Linux, which I wanted to use.

Does anybody know if it is possible to start these scripts from a python 
script under windows?

There are more than 50 scripts, which depend on each other, and I don’t 
have the time to translate them to python (I still have to develop my 
hydrological model). So, I’m looking for the fastest way.

1) Is it in this case better to change to Linux? Can I run these shell 
and perl scripts easily with python in Linux?

2) Would it be better to adapt these scripts to the windows environment? 
In this case, what would have to be changed? (I don’t know shell, nor perl)

Many thanks for any hint!

Sonja
