Indeed

And quite a mess I made ; -(

Actually, I've had to download and reinstall your binaries just to get a working version going again - so I'm not inclined to risk losing my production setup.  Can I give the current 6.4.0 a different name or does it have to be completely gone?  I may well put this project on hold for a while.

BTW, thank you for maintaining such a fine repository of reliable binaries ......

If both wxpython and wx libraries are bundled, then maybe the bundled wxpython is not in the python path (it should be in etc/python in the GRASS app package).
