Just run setup.exe again and set it to install on the package chooser. Python is in the "Python" category. Setup will install it to the correct location automatically and all you have to do after that is type python <scriptname> at a shell prompt. (Or make sure the first line of the script says #!python and the script has the +x flag set, and then you can just run it directly by name at the bash prompt, subject to the usual rules about $PATH). cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
