Lukasz,

Layers in OpenLayers can be any number of things. You are limited,
specifically, by the "url" you provide, and what layers that server
provides: There are hundreds (or thousands) of WMS servers on the web,
each with different data that they're serving. There is no single set of
options to go with -- and you can even create your own server using Open
Source software.

So, to answer your question, there is no specific list of layer options:
there are many different ones, epending on the servers you're pointing
to, and more.

In addition, as you noted, there may be other layer types available:
TMS, Google, etc. I don't kno how your Python code handles these, but I
can say that they do exist within OpenLayers.
