PYTHONSTARTUP and Cygwin

[Dwi Sianto Mansjur]

I tried to set up PYTHONPATH in cygwin but it doesn't work.
Any clue why ?
The following is my session.

$ echo $PYTHONPATH
/home/Cherna/86_DevelopingTools:/home/Cherna/87_TestingCorpus

$ echo $PYTHONSTARTUP
/home/Cherna/86_DevelopingTools:/home/Cherna/87_TestingCorpus

$ python
Python 2.3.3 (#1, Dec 30 2003, 08:29:25) 
[GCC 3.3.1 (cygming special)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python23.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.3',
'/usr/lib/python2.3/plat-cygwin', '/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk',
'/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages',
'/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Numeric']

thanks.
