Just to be clear, the .bat files in the Cygwin Python package are part of the standard distribution and were not added by me. On Cygwin, we have the following: $ cygcheck -l python | fgrep .bat /usr/lib/python2.5/ctypes/macholib/fetch_macholib.bat /usr/lib/python2.5/idlelib/idle.bat In a random Linux package, we have the following: $ (wget -O - ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/development/i386/os/Packages/python-2.5.1-30.fc10.i386.rpm | rpm2cpio | cpio -it) 2>/dev/null | fgrep .bat ./usr/lib/python2.5/ctypes/macholib/fetch_macholib.bat ./usr/lib/python2.5/idlelib/idle.bat Jason -- PGP/GPG Key: http://www.tishler.net/jason/pubkey.asc or key servers Fingerprint: 7A73 1405 7F2B E669 C19D 8784 1AFD E4CC ECF4 8EF6 -- 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/
