Dear Cygwin Team,
as far as I can tell the package "python" which drags in some python and
creates a symlink like
/usr/bin/python -> python2.7.exe
has been removed recently (in the last 3 days or so) from the default
package selection. This has the effect that calls to just "python" fail.
Is this an intended change? I didn't see an announcement for this change
here.
I hope, I can easily fix this by installing the package manually ...
Bets regards,
Michael
