> As for 3.9: it's not available through the 64 bit installer (at least, I don't see it there). I'll look and see what's involved in installing it.

I don't remember if I did something special to install it; however, just maybe you need to install python39 directly.

64-bit.

> Does Cygwin not use : as a path list separator?

It uses : as path separator:

$ echo $PATH
/opt/lo/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/AdoptOpenJDK/jdk-11.0.7.10-hotspot/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Oracle/Java/javapath:/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Oracle/Java/javapath:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/wbem:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:...

But obviously, it can't use Windows-style paths in the $PATH (for that reason?).
