 The situation for a monolithic GUI application isn't comparable. These
 programs "embed" a Python interpreter in order to provide scripting
 capabilities within the application, in the same way that a web browser
 embeds a !JavaScript interpreter.

 GRASS' Python scripts are meant to fulfil the same role as Unix shell
 scripts or Windows batch files, but portably (and without the ANSI/OEM-
 codepage nonsense that batch files have).
