Thanks Christopher,

All points are well taken, your answers clear my incorrect assumptions and save me a lot of time.

Leon.

Again, GNUpro releases are commercial Cygnus (now Red Hat) releases.
In case it isn't clear this is the second or third time someone from
powrtv.com has asked questions about the three year old Cygnus GNUpro
release.  It is very unlikely that anyone (besides me) knows what GNUpro
99r1 is.  And, if you have questions about this commercial release of
the product, this is really not the forum for it.

You don't have to build anything.  The Python binaries are available.
They are not available for GNUpro 99r1 and it is very unlikely that
anyone is interested in porting them to GNUpro 99r1.

If this isn't for PowerTV and their purchased version of GNUpro 99r1
then just download python for Cygwin.
