[GRASS-user] Re: d.vect dialog issues, and query tool issues (previously: GRASS GUI issues)

[Shane Litherland]

I just came across something more in regards to python misbehaviour - it
may well be that GRASS 6.4.1 needs python 2.5 and ubuntu 10.04 has 2.6.

One website that outlined their success with GRASS after getting the 2.5
python version is
http://dipeshbhattarai.com/?p=57
(note they were using windows7 and it too had python 2.6)

more searching finds other sites with ppa's etc for this 2.5 version.

I am yet to try it... a bit hesitant in whether I'll break something on my system... ;-)

Anyone know if newer versions of GRASS use python 2.6 or higher?
