Now fixed in trunk, http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/30510

important is the last part of the message which comes when you try to
import grass6_wxvdigit Python module .

Try:

cd gui/wxpython/vdigit
python
import grass6_wxvdigit

you will get this error

The problem is loading python module itself.

Hm, the last days I have not so much time to work on this, the way you
suggest maybe could solve it.
