As discussed on a number of tickets (eg. #580), I have updated the NSIS packaging script to separate Python from the main WinGRASS installer. Now, rather than including Python in the package it provides the option of downloading and running the installers for the relevant packages (python, wxpython, pywin32, and numpy).
In theory, this should fix some of the compatibility problems WinGRASS has been having with other Python installations by allowing it to run off of a previously installed Python. As currently written it only accepts 2.5 or 2.6 and only if written to the registry in the standard place. It also reduces the size of the installer. However, as Glynn has noted elsewhere (https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/580#comment:20), the wxpython versions of vdigit and nviz require build specific versions of python and wxpython. Since these modules don't currently function on Windows anyway, this isn't a problem for now... I'll use the new installer with the next WinGRASS release unless there are further issues (around Jan 1st). In the meantime should I commit the changes to develbranch_6 for review? -Colin _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
