[GRASS-user] Mac Pathon 64 Bit

[William Kyngesburye]

wxPython could be considered the only GUI option - there is the TclTk GUI still in GRASS 6.4, but I don't think it's kept up to date now, and it is not in GRASS 7.

Is there a reason for using your custom /opt/local Python for GRASS?  I don't think the older system Python 2.6 version is a problem for the GUI.

If you are using the /opt/local Python unintentionally, probably what is happening is that it (or MacPorts) added something to your shell init (.bash_profile) to add /opt/local/bin to your PATH.  GRASS then picks this up and uses the Python it finds there.  You can get around this by adding a line to your .bash_profile:

export GRASS_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.6
