right, this is a known issue, unfortunately calling python script (in
this case g.extension) from Python code (in this case wxGUI) simply
fails on Windows. It's blocker for GRASS 7. This bug has been fixed in
r57910 [1] (workaround, but at least not broken software) but reverted
by Glynn in r57911 [2]. Unfortunately nobody came with any solution.
