Done. I've attached the result (off list). In summary it seems to be<br>
searching for python2.6.exe first, instead of python.exe.<br>

OK, so that is the problem....<br>
<br>
It looks for names in this order:<br>
<br>
NAMES python2.6 python2.5 python2.4 python2.3 python2.2 python2.1 python2.0 python1.6 python1.5 python<br>
<br>
<br>
It will prefer python2.6 over python in the PATH, and it has no way of knowing or caring if one is cygwin or not. I don't think there is much we can do about this.<br>
<br>
I should have noticed this:<br>
C:/Python26/python.exe<div class="im"><br>
C:/Cygwin/bin/python2.5.exe<br>
<br>
<br></div>
I suppose one fix could be to to have the windows one prefer python over any of the named version ones...<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Same problem as ever: when multiple versions are installed an automatic "find" result cannot be relied upon to choose the right one.
