I just came across something more in regards to python misbehaviour - it may well be that GRASS 6.4.1 needs python 2.5 and ubuntu 10.04 has 2.6.
One website that outlined their success with GRASS after getting the 2.5 python version is http://dipeshbhattarai.com/?p=57 (note they were using windows7 and it too had python 2.6) more searching finds other sites with ppa's etc for this 2.5 version. https://launchpad.net/~fkrull/+archive/deadsnakes http://welcometoubuntu.blogspot.com/2010/05/howto-install-python-255-on-ubuntu-1004.html I am yet to try it... a bit hesitant in whether I'll break something on my system... ;-) Anyone know if newer versions of GRASS use python 2.6 or higher?
