After GRASS started successfully, it raises ParseError in xml.etree.ElementTree module when I click any tool or menu in Layer Manager window. For Example, if I click ""Add vector map layer"" tool, error messages below will display in Command Console, and d.vect setting window can't open. ---- ''Traceback (most recent call last): File ""d:\GRASS\etc\wxpython\lmgr\frame.py"", line 1563, in OnAddVector self.curr_page.maptree.AddLayer('vector') File ""d:\GRASS\etc\wxpython\lmgr\layertree.py"", line 924, in AddLayer self.PropertiesDialog(layer, show = True) File ""d:\GRASS\etc\wxpython\lmgr\layertree.py"", line 1036, in PropertiesDialog completed = (self.GetOptData,layer,params)) File ""d:\GRASS\etc\wxpython\gui_core\forms.py"", line 1871, in ParseCommand blackList = _blackList) File ""d:\GRASS\etc\python\grass\script\task.py"", line 470, in parse_interface tree = etree.fromstring(get_interface_description(name)) File ""d:\GRASS\Python27\lib\xml\etree\ElementTree.py"", line 1300, in XML parser.feed(text) File ""d:\GRASS\Python27\lib\xml\etree\ElementTree.py"", line 1642, in feed self._raiseerror(v) File ""d:\GRASS\Python27\lib\xml\etree\ElementTree.py"", line 1506, in _raiseerror raise err xml.etree.ElementTree .

I replace first two sentences with {{{ enc = locale.encodings.aliases.aliases[locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]] if enc and enc.lower() != 'utf-8': }}} . It works fine on my PC.
