It seems "not unreasonable" to continue to support that link, just to allow people who use Cygwin for development, a little additional sanity for the time being? That said, people *should* be transitioning to other tools, such as pyenv or pipenv, to better manage their environments (or, in the case of later python 3 versions, the built-in venv mechanism) Regards > Marco Atzeri > Cheers!
