[Ultimately somebody with an interest in cygwin will need to get active in python development. I've been meaning to do this but life gets in the way.]
I was bitten by the lack of Cygwin support in 3.2 as well.
IMO, python-dev needs continuous integration on a build farm that includes representative platforms. Most of the machines in the farm could be virtualboxes.
I don't think the problem is so much that the right people haven't gotten involved, as that the currently-involved people don't know when they're breaking something for someone else due to the lack of continuous integration. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
