/c/cygwin/startup.py

I know it isn't read because it contains the line 'from sets import
Set' but

bash-2.05b$ python
Python 2.3 (#1, Aug  1 2003, 15:01:23)
[GCC 3.2 20020927 (prerelease)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> Set()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'Set' is not defined

yet the sets module can be found:

>>> from sets import Set
>>> Set()
Set([])
>>>

So at this point I am really mystified.
