This raises some questions: 1. if "pip" is installed alongside Python, why is it not put into "/usr/bin" or similar? 2. if "python-pip-wheel" is already installed, what is the point of "python27-pip" and similar? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
