This patch enables os.startfile() on Cygwin, converting Cygwin POSIX paths to Windows paths unless they look like URLs, and calling ShellExecute() on the result. It also enables the webbrowser.WindowsDefault class, which uses os.startfile(). It has to make WindowsError and the PyErr*Windows* functions available as well because win32_startfile() might call them.

Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 There's no uploaded file! You have to check the checkbox labeled "Check to Upload & Attach File" when you upload a file. In addition, even if you *did* check this checkbox, a bug in SourceForge prevents attaching a file when *creating* an issue. Please try again. (This is a SourceForge annoyance that we can do nothing about. :-( )

Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Raymond, can you look at this one? It seems to be okay, but I can't test it.

Unfortunately, I no longer have access to a Windows build environment and cannot exercise this patch.

Any Cygwin person interested in taking this forward?
