 Replying to [comment:6 helena]:

 > For the record, this is what my colleagues found (which indicates python
 version conflict with ArcGIS, already discussed on the list): GRASS 7
 needs Python 2.7.    I have several Python 2.7 installed on my machine, so
 we started looking at that.
 > Now Richard has found that GRASS 7 works perfectly on Windows 7 and 8
 until ArcGIS 10.1 is installed.  Then, when ArcGIS 10.1 is installed,
 GRASS 7  exits immediately upon starting.  Actually, if you pause this
 jing video at 6 seconds, it shows 'importError: cannot import name
 MAXREPEAT'

 Perhaps this helps (http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/WinGRASS_errors):

 Q: Error message "!ImportError: cannot import name MAXREPEAT"

 A: A system-wide Python installation (2.7.2, independent of GRASS) may
 cause the trouble. Replacing this system-wide Python installation with
 version 2.7.4, instead of 2.7.2, solved the problem.
