If that's true, then it should be fixed upstream. > While investigating this I found this to me quite inconsistent > behavior: > cygwin> /bin/python3.6m.exe -c 'import sys; print(sys.executable);' > /bin/python3.6m > cygwin> python3.6m -c 'import sys; print(sys.executable);' > /usr/bin/python3.6m > cygwin> python3.6 -c 'import sys; print(sys.executable);' > /usr/bin/python3.6 > cygwin> python3.6m.exe -c 'import sys; print(sys.executable);' > /usr/bin/python3.6m > cmd> c:/MyStuff/NCygwin64/bin/python3.6m.exe -c 'import sys; > print(sys.executable);' > /usr/bin/python3.6m > cmd> rem add cygwin path to Windows: > cmd> path %PATH%;c:\MYSTUFF\ncygwin64\bin > cmd> python3.6m.exe -c 'import sys; print(sys.executable);' > /c/MYSTUFF/ncygwin64/bin/python3.6m > With CMD I'll never get an executable that actually works from cmd. > Is this expected? Yes. This is Cygwin, not Windows CMD. > Is there a way around to make this work? Yes, write scripts correctly, correctly translate paths.
