I'm not running Cygwin, but Uwin.  I installed regular Python:


Python 2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 11:49:19) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> ^Z                                      


with the win32api that matched.  I have no trouble running it.  Is there
some reason to prefer a Python compiled by the Cygwin tools?

Metta,
Ivan
