use run_command from `core` module [1].

grass.run_command('v.to.rast', overwrite = True, input = 'river',
output = 'river_raster', use = 'val' value = 1)

> I first need to define my location and my mapset and I have to import or define somehow the variable river. How do I set the region? In Grass I just do g.region vect=river res=10 save=region_river.

same as above use run_command().
