 (i.e. don't set PYTHONHOME, set GRASS_PYTHON to point to the system
 version, etc).

 > But then we will have problem with other python packages (GRASS
 dependecies) which are installed through osgeo4w environment as `python-
 matplotlib` or `python-numpy`, right? Version of "system" python will be
 most probably different from the python version available in osgeo4w
 environment.

 Add-on packages don't normally care about the minor version, so a package
 built for 2.7 should work with 2.7.<anything>.

 This doesn't apply to sre_*.py; modules which are part of the base Python
 distribution don't expect to be used with anything other than the exact
 Python version of which they are part.

 > Right, when I launch `python.exe` which comes with standalone installer
 it points to `C:Windows\SysWOW64\python27.dll`. When I launch `python.exe`
 from `C:\OSGeo4W\bin` it points to the right dll file, ie.
 `C:\OSGeo4W\bin\python27.dll`.

 That will be because the OSGeo4W version has its python27.dll in the same
 directory as python.exe. The directory containing the EXE comes first,
 before the system directories; %PATH% comes last.
