currently we have Python version of g.extension script in GRASS 7 and

would suggest to replace Bash version with Python in GRASS 6.5. It's
new module, so no backwards compatibility will be broken. Only one
drawback is that g.extension will requires Python to be available.AFAIU the shell script version of g.extension is slated to be backported
to the release branch for 6.4.1. it's there, it works (AFAIK),I don't think so - there are lots of problems reported in the list.
Are you sure? I would rather make it a python script since the shell
version is a pain.Markus
Unless something has changed in the past couple weeks, Python scripts do not run in Windows (although Python does run from within the wxGUI environment). That is, g.extension won't run from the MSys or Windows command window. I'm not sure if it will run even from the wxGUI menu. IMHO, it is very important that we solve this issue.
