I'm not sure which code you are using and also where your data actually
are. APPDATA is not common for grassdata directory but should work of
course if it is what you want. Anyway, this is what the documentation [1]
suggests:

gisdb = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), "grassdata")

(and usually modifying for MS Windows with `os.path.expanduser("~"),
,"Documents", "grassdata"`.

Hope this helps,
Vaclav

PS: Please note you have grass-dev-request at lists.osgeo.org mailing list in
your To field. I don't think you want that (I'm not sure what would be the
reason). You can of course subscribe to grass-dev at lists.osgeo.org if you
want to discuss some development of GRASS GIS!
