summary: I've got a version of python that I need for other purposes.
I'm trying to build duplicity to use with that python. I'm getting
me@cygwinBox ~/bin/duplicity-0.6.09$ python setup.py install

How to do this?
details:
I mostly run linux, and I've been using python-based `duplicity`
http://duplicity.nongnu.org/
to back that up. I've got an older winxp box (SP3, uptodate with WU)
which I keep mostly to run ArcGIS, which has happily run many versions
of cygwin (which I keep uptodate) over the years. I'd like to be able to
restore my linux home to my cygwin home for the rare occasions when I
need to use the winxp box. To do that, I'd like to install duplicity on
the cygwin box. That install process (best described by the somewhat
downlevel
http://blog.khorun.com/2008/09/using-duplicity-on-windows-under-cygwin.html
) works for the install of the prerequisite GnuPGInterface and boto
python modules (process=[download tarball, tar xfz, python setup.py
install]) but fails for the install of duplicity itself, with the
error:
me@cygwinBox ~/bin/duplicity-0.6.09$ python setup.py install
...
> error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003;
Note that I'd cheerfully replace that version of python (the 2.5.2
that shipped with my ArcGIS 9.3), except that I use some ArcGIS
extensions which seem to choke on other pythons :-( so I'd prefer to
build against that if at all possible.

I tried to take the advice offered, but fail:
me@cygwinBox ~/bin/duplicity-0.6.09$ python -c mingw32 setup.py install
> Traceback (most recent call last):

What's the appropriate syntax here? Or how else should I fix this
build problem?

Searching the web, I found the following:
python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 install
