Hi,

I tried to run the script now manually with --help
from the command line. For simplicicity I only tried
v.krige.py, a python script that already comes with
the GRASS 6.5 SVN install.

I tried to differnent types but both with problems:

1) with the .py ending:
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
v.krige.py --help
c:/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/grass-6.5.svn/scripts/v.krige.py:
MODULE:    v.krige
AUTHOR(S): Anne Ghisla <a.ghisla AT gmail.com>
PURPOSE:   Performs ordinary or block kriging
DEPENDS:   R 2.x, packages gstat, maptools and spgrass6,
optional: automap

.
ExpatError
:
no element found: line 1, column 0
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''


and 2) without the .py ending
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
v.krige --help
No GRASS-python library found
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

I also tried to run my own script without the .py ending and with --help:
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
pythontest_l --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-6.5.svn\scripts\pythonte
st_l.py", line 42, in <module>
     import grass.script as grass
ImportError: No module named grass.script
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''


What is the normal way to run a python script in windows, with or 
without the .py ending?

The main python on my Windows 7 and in the environemental variabels 
(Path) is C:\Python27
I need to run the script using my Windows python as there are some 
addtionaly python
modules my script depends on...


Thank you,

/Johannes
