[python-win32] ActiveState Python + Cygwin Query

[Reedick, Andrew]

What exactly is the problem that you're seeing?  Cygwin accepts
c:/some/where/file.xt, c:\\some\\where\\file.txt,
'c:\some\where\file.txt', /cygdrive/c/some/where/file.txt, and so on.

Great! Thanks.

 

Now, how do you get ActiveState Python to work with the cygwin paths?

Check the environment variables:

                OS=Windows_NT

                OSTYPE=cygwin

Hi,

 

I have 2 questions concerning this combination.

 

1)      Since ActiveState uses win32 path names and cygwin uses linux
path names, there are lots of occasions when files can't be found.
There are multiple ways (I understand) that this can be reconciled, but
what is considered the most workable?  (And no, getting rid of
ActiveState or cygwin isn't possible, so that option is out ;-) ) 

2)      What's the best pythonic way to detect that the environment is
cygwin?  Is there some way to do it via "os" methods?

 

Thanks,

-T
