I have updated Python in the standard Cygwin distribution to 2.1.1-2. Python is located in the contrib/python directory on the Cygwin mirrors. Cygwin's setup.exe will automatically install or update Python the next time one installs or updates from a mirror. If interested, see the following for a copy of the original announcement: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2001/msg00118.html I kindly request that people post to python-list@python.org or cygwin@cygwin.com as appropriate instead of emailing me directly. Thanks, Jason
