OK, so I upgraded everything and now with python 2.3.2 it works. Weird.
I didn't change anything else.

However, following up on my own suggestion re. truss, I found about
strace and wanted to try it but:

    bash-2.05b$ strace python
    strace.exe: error creating process python, (error 2)

Is this a known issue? It's not mentioned in python-2.3.README, at any rate.

Thanks again,

-- O.L.

That's the same directory. I just made a typo the 1st time.

I tried to install 2.3.2 and got "The procedure entry point __getreent
could not
be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll", so I went back to
2.3.1. In 
any case, this is a standard PIV-based PC, no 64-bit here.

Now if only cygwin had an equivalent of Solaris truss; it might give us
a clue.

bash-2.05b$ ls -ls `echo $PYTHONSTARTUP`
1.0k -rw-rw-rw-    1 Administ None           22 Sep 11 16:34
/c/cygwin/startup.py

I know it isn't read because it contains the line 'from sets import
Set' but

bash-2.05b$ python
Python 2.3 (#1, Aug  1 2003, 15:01:23)
[GCC 3.2 20020927 (prerelease)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> Set()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'Set' is not defined

yet the sets module can be found:

>>> from sets import Set
>>> Set()
Set([])
>>>

So at this point I am really mystified.
