Comment:

 > Change %GRASS_PYTHON% in GRASS's env.bat as needed?

 change of GRASS_PYTHON from "python" to
 "%GISBASE%/etc/extrabin/python.exe" now applied in relbr64 and devbr6 to
 avoid the reported version mis-match startup problems with wxGUI and
 Python 2.7.2.

 The GRASS+Msys startup method for wingrass continues to have $GRASS_PYTHON
 = "python" as per Init.sh, so dependent on the $PATH. We'll have to watch
 what happens there.

 It seems to work in devbr6 for .py scripts called from the GUI, hopefully
 "GRASS_PYTHON" is always launched instead of "python" so it will avoid
 another installed version somewhere in the %PATH%. There are a couple .py
 scripts and addons-- I assume on Wingrass the shebang is always ignored?
 How about when called from msys?


 This recent change is in basic disagreement with the thesis of this
 particular bug report, so... I guess we'll see how it goes.

 Anyone running custom .py addon scripts on Windows + GRASS 6.x are asked
 to check if they still work.


 thanks,
 Hamish
