quite a prize :-))
FYI - I have managed to get the '_winreg' module working with Cygwin
< _winreg = Python access to the Windows Registry >
My current plan is to merge this into Jason's upcoming distribution
and then submit the necessary changes to the Python team in the hopes
of getting this included into the 'official' Python source tree.
This will be the most 'pervasive' Cygwin specific patch to the Python
source to date in that previously the Cygwin version has behaved
as a Posix only implementation whereas this patch requires knowledge of
the Win32 of doing things also.
Note as a side effect this opens up the possibility of exposing
additional Win32 API components to a Cygwin compiled Python.
Anyone interested in helping 'beta-test' this please contact me off list
Cheers
Norman Vine
