Cygwin does not magically change the platform you are on, the fact that you are on Windows is hard-coded into the Python.exe binary. Look for references to os.path.sep in IPython. Windows does let you use forward slashes as path separators, though, so I am not entirely sure what your issue is. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
