For the GUI, setting e.g.:

	set GRASS_PYTHON=c:\Program Files (x86)\Python27\pythonw.exe

should suffice.

If you want to run Python scripts from bash, you may run into problems
if there are any spaces in any of the directories. Using an 8.3
filename may work, e.g.:

	export PATH=$PATH:/c/PROGRA~2/Python27/pythonw.exe

Running Python scripts from cmd.exe should use the file association
for the .py extension.
