Thanks Hamish and Matthias. Here one (more) solution: # get distances from v.distance -pa distances = grass.read_command("v.distance",\ flags = 'pa',\ _from = reference_points_map,\ to = lowres_vector_grid,\ column = gridcell_column,\ to_column = "cat",\ upload = "to_attr") # get max distance max_distance=max([float(d.split('|')[1]) for d in distances.splitlines() [1:]]) (Thanks to Aggelos Nikolaou for the solution. It's something trivial but when _not_ working all-the-time with python looks difficult in the beginning.)
