[GRASS-user] Running Python scripts inside GRASS

So, there is one good thing: I got to run my python program inside 
GRASS. However, I lost the python GUI. It's good that there is still the 
Tcl/Tk interface and QGIS ;-)


In detail:

Reducing the PYTHONPATH to C:\GRASS-4-SVN\etc\python changes nothing in 
the error message.

However, I had a look in my python installations 
(Python24,Python25,Python26 and GRASS-4-SVN/Python25) for collections.py 
and this is only included in Python26.

This explains also, why my python program runs under Eclipse, as I put 
Python26 into the Eclipse Path.

So, I changed the hole content of my C:\GRASS-4-SVN\Python25 directory 
with the content of the C:\Python26 directory. I kept the name 
(Python25) of the directory and the Scripts directory and sip.exe.

Now, I can run my Pythonprogramm under the GRASS windows command line, 
however I can no longer use the Pythonwx GUI. (which does not seem 
surprising due to the brutal changes I made ;-))

I don't know anything about the differences between Python25 and 
Python26 and the dependencies for the wxpython GUI, but in my opinion it 
would be necessary to update the WinGRASS installation with a Python26 
version while keeping the compability to the wxpython GUI, in order to 
be able to run the python scripts inside GRASS.


Does anybody know an easier solution?
