New Features in Python 1.6

[James Pannozzi]

... mouth watering description of new Python 1.6 features...

"Note that the Python installer for Windows now installs GNU m4, the bash
shell, and Autoconf, so that Windows users will be able to use the
Distutils just like on Unix."


Excellent, wonderful, yes, yes, ... ah whoops!!!  What's this about it
installing a bash shell, I've already got my NT Xemacs configured to use the
Cygwin 20 Bash shell.

(Oh Oh! reconfigure, incompatabilities... confusion, chaos...)

Also, I notice that links to Python2c have quietly become non-functional or
non-existent.

Thanks
Jim
