A basemap with a contour surface overlayed can be viewed as a assembly of various layers. So this is like the result of the gis operations when you launch the map composer to finish your map. If you want to create a raster file from the contour part plotted over a basemap I think the python bindings of gdal will get you started. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/GDAL/ I succeded into writing a tiff file from a gdal array. I don't know how to write a vector file from python with ogr or shapely. But these questions are better to be asked on the gdal list.: So about interpolating to a contour look at shapely. Writing should be accomplished with ogr. That said, I only have testing "experience" with writing geodata with python. The overkill may be to invoke the respective GRASS command by a script. I would appreciate if you would tell us what you use by the end.
