import _winreg does not work. How do I fix?

[John Sellers]

Sounds reasonable, but if what you say is true, I am surprised that not 
all Python 2.3.2 releases are not equal.

How good is your information?  Is it authorative?

I need to be in cygin because I have an extensive integrated environment 
which includes many cygwin packages, and several python 3rd party packages.

I could hack it with a true win32 python, but my gut says this is not 
the way to go.
