Your very welcome.  However, in the future please post to the Cygwin or
Python mailing list, as appropriate, instead of sending private email
so others can benefit too.

If you do not already have a .pythonrc.py file, then save the attached
file in your home directory.  Otherwise, append it to your .pythonrc.py
file.  Then restart Python, readline will now be enabled.

My Cygwin Python distribution does *not* currently support Tkinter.

Try searching the Cygwin mailing list archives:

    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/

You will find that others have built Cygwin Python that supports Tkinter.
