[GRASS-windows] GUI with python scripts

[Ned Horning]

Hi -

I tried the most recent daily build for Window 
(WinGRASS-6.4.SVN-r-40722-1-Setup.exe) and it appears as if something 
has changed since I get a different error when running a Python script. 
I still can not get a GUI to appear but when I run my test script using 
the --ui flag I get the following error. Can anyone tell if this looks 
like another bug or a user problem.

All the best,
