How did it ask for a newer version?  Really, you don't need to install  
a newer one.

Now you are working with the python.org python.  You must install and  
run the Tiger GRASS binary, which is built to use that.  Really, the  
bulk of the GUI doesn't care and should run, it's just the digitizer  
that's tied to the exact wxPython build.

Looks like it might be a Python bug?  Can you run Python by itself?
