Set Grass Region in Python grass.script

Question

How can I set the Grass Region in Python without already having a map in the Mapset? Basically I am looking for the equivalent to this window

enter image description here

Currently I am only able to extent an existing region, which leads in my case to very big regions.

Answer 1

How about this:

import grass.script as grass
grass.run_command('g.region', n=10, s=9, e=35, w=33, ewres=0.1, nsres=0.2, verbose=True, flags='p')
 projection: 3 (Latitude-Longitude)
 zone: 0
 datum: wgs84
 ellipsoid: wgs84
 north: 10N
 south: 9N
 west: 33E
 east: 35E
 nsres: 0:12
 ewres: 0:06
 rows: 5
 cols: 20
 cells: 100

• ustroetz: g.region requires in my Grass (6.4.3) a parameter <map> (Raster map to change). What version are you on? What am I doing wrong? In the documentation I don't see this parameter either.
• Micha: No, g.region works on the overall "computational region", and is not specific to one map. That's the same for all version. THere is a different command, r.region which changes the extent and resolution of a single raster. Is that what you meant?
