Python in C integration and WxPython

[David Wilson]

It sounds like your C program and Python script are running under
different interpreters. Your C program almost certainly is using a
Python version that comes with Cygwin, while the script is probably
using a native win32 Python that has wxPython installed.

Assuming this is true, then compiling your C program natively on
Windows should solve the problem. Alternatively, if wxPython is
available for cygwin (possibly via cygwin's X server) then installing
it would also help.
