My apologies for the postings crossing in the ether
My head is bent in shame

I also apologize for taking 20 minutes to create some data
during which time others did the same,  and my subsequent 
error of posting of the requested data before rechecking my mail.

A mistake I will not make again.

FYI
Jason and I have been wrestling with the Python source,
the Cygwin DLL creation methods and the Python make system
to have a full featured dynamically linked Python for Cygwin users.  
With the exception of threading support, I believe that we will have
it SOON. :-)

All the best and THANK YOU 
for your fine stewardship of Cygwin.

It has come along ways since I started using B-18

ARGGGGHHHH !!!!!!!

I complained when they wanted to do this
I guess not loudly enough   thread @
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-09/msg00010.html


THIS BREAKS socketmodule.c

Try it for youself 

$PY_SRC / Modules / socketmodule.c  ~line 125
#if !(defined(__BEOS__)) // || defined(__CYGWIN__))
//#include <netinet/tcp.h>
#include <winsock.h>
#endif

Grrr... !@$#

Maybe if this breaks for you you could post a 
request to the cygwin list.  

I do not seem to have much luck there :-(

Cheers

Norman
