Please let's not. The BDFL's comments were based on the assumption that Tcl/Tk 8.0 isn't being used, which is clearly not true if Cygwin is stuck with it for a while. Can't we ask them to keep the 8.0 special case for a while, at least within #ifdef CYGWIN? (I'm not entirely sure why Tcl/Tk is stuck at 8.0--I thought Cygwin was supported through 8.2 or 8.3. But that's another matter.) If Tcl/Tk 8.0 support is dropped from Python, I hope you don't do have to do anything to drop support in Cygwin (i.e., it should automatically build without it if Tcl/Tk 8.2+ isn't found). That way, those of us that want to use it can simply rebuild Python after updating Tcl/Tk. -Jerry Williams -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
