This has always been the problem for GRASS. The developers don't
generally develop for Windows, while those using GRASS on Windows
generally aren't developers.
However, this particular issue isn't a programming issue, but a
packaging issue. If you want to use Python for scripting GRASS on
Windows, the best solution is to delete the bundled version of Python
2.5 from the GRASS installation, install Python and the required
add-ons (wxPython, NumPy, PyWin32) from their official installers,
then edit the GRASS start-up script to remove any references to the
bundled version.

Please, advice if it isn't appropriate.<br>
