Hi Jon,
Thanks for updating calm package.
Usually, I work as a normal user. (i.e., not as root or an administrator)
In this case, mksetupini aborts with a permission error.
It is because Python library files do not have permission to normal users.
Could you modify the file permissions so that they are accessible to non-
privileged users?
$ cygcheck -dc | grep calm
calm 20250329-1
$ mksetupini

Previously installed python packages all have a+r files and a+rx dirs, with .py
one or the other, including the previous calm tars, whereas the latest release
file perms in the tar are not all consistent with each other or previous
releases, also for the .../calm...dist-info dir and files!
