I had installed pexpect on my Windows XP  system, only to find out it
won't work on Windows.
I found a message from Noah stating that it is supposed to run under Cygwin.

I didn't know if it was already installed in the base python release,
so after launching Cygwin,
import pexpect

import: unable to open X server `'.

was displayed.


Would someone explain why an Xserver has anything to do with pexpect?

If I need to install pexpect explicitly, I need help installing a
python packager in Cygwin. I've installed many packages in Windows,
but never on Linux/Cygwin.


thanks
