PyGRASS message interface

The PyGRASS message interface is a fast and exit-safe interface to the GRASS C-library message functions.

This class implements a fast and exit-safe interface to the GRASS C-library message functions like: G_message(), G_warning(), G_important_message(), G_verbose_message(), G_percent() and G_debug().

Usage:

>>> msgr = Messenger()
>>> msgr.debug(0, "debug 0")
>>> msgr.verbose("verbose message")
>>> msgr.message("message")
>>> msgr.important("important message")
>>> msgr.percent(1, 1, 1)
>>> msgr.warning("Ohh")
>>> msgr.error("Ohh no")

>>> msgr = Messenger()
>>> msgr.fatal("Ohh no no no!")
