Hello,
I would like to perform some work on wxPython GUI Dialogs.

What is the recommended way to edit the python files?

Do I need to complie GRASS in order to see the changes?

Is there a possibility to run the GUI locally from the source directory?

Best regards,
Timmie

No; you can edit the installed files directly.

Once GRASS has been compiled, you can run the copy in dist.<arch>
(within the source directory) via the bin.<arch>/grass64 script.
