This is a known Cygwin issues which will be fixed in 1.5.19:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-07/msg01257.html

I recommend that Cygwin users temporarily patch their
netinet/in.h instead of changing the Python source code.

And yes, I still maintain Cygwin Python. :,)

Jason, are you still working on Cygwin issues?

The problem can be sloved by adding the following lines in
socketmodule.c beginning.

/* FIXME: We should include ws2tcpip.h, however this causes
compilation problems */
#if defined(__CYGWIN__)
#define INET_ADDRSTRLEN  16
#define INET6_ADDRSTRLEN 46
#endif /* __CYGWIN__ */
