Delete the copy of Python that's bundled with GRASS, and add the
necessary packages to your system Python. IIRC, you need wxPython,
PyWin32, and NumPy.

If you have multiple versions of Python installed, the "system" Python
is the one associated with the ".py" extension; use "ftype python.file"
from the command prompt to find out which one this is.
