or simplier: module.outputs.stdout

or using directly the C API through python with:

{{{
from grass.pygrass.vector import VectorTopo
from grass.pygrass.raster import RasterRow
from grass.pygrass.gis.region import Region

with RasterRow('elevation', mode='r') as rast:
    with VectorTopo('hospitals', mode='r') as hospitals:
        region = Region()
        for hosp in hospitals:
            value = rast.get_value(hosp, region)
            if value is not None:
                print(hosp.cat, value)
}}}
