Good to know, > it's a nice policy ;-) Unfortunately nothing really changed as I noted 3 months ago. I am using GRASS 7 at the university for teaching GIS and remote sensing. During winter semester students started to report bugs related to this issue. I was thinking how I can explain them why it's still broken or better to say we are still keeping it broken. My patience is now at an end, students couldn't simply solved final tasks to finish the course. There are many places where a python script is called from a python code (eg. `g.extension` from wxGUI wrapper, `r.mask` in different python scripts or `v.db.addtable` in `g.gui.iclass` when exporting training areas). Many more functionality is simply not working on Windows. I hoped that I will be not forced to do that, anyway the daily builds of G7 [1] now contains Vaclav's workaround introduced in r57910. I expect that such commit would be immediately reverted without providing any better solution (as in October). Keep it simply broken we don't care about our software whether is functional. It's our message to the users which I was not able to say to the students. I want to attract them to use open source and not to disgust them.
