[issue3626] python3.0 interpreter on Cygwin ignores all arguments

[Yaakov (Cygwin Ports)]

Yaakov (Cygwin Ports) <yselkowitz at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

3.0rc1 together with the printf patch builds and installs.  Some quick
testing seems ok, but idle isn't working:

$ idle3.0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.0/idlelib/run.py", line 76, in main
    sockthread.set_daemon(True)
AttributeError: 'Thread' object has no attribute 'set_daemon'

IDLE appears briefly with a message:

Subprocess Startup Error
IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection.  Either IDLE can't start a
subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection.
[OK]

Pushing OK causes idle3.0 to quit.  idle 2.5 works fine.
