thanks for the hints and clarifications.

are there examples of the correct use of script.core.use_temp_region()
around?

I've found it in [1]:

124         # clone current region
125         grass.use_temp_region()
126     
127         grass.run_command('g.region', res=panres, align=pan)

anything else to do?
