The above implies that you may have a Cygwin installation problem that may impact other Cygwin applications too. I recommend taking this problem to the Cygwin list: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FWIW, I get the following with the official Cygwin Python version: $ python -c 'import sys; print sys.path' ['', '/usr/lib/python24.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.4', '/usr/lib/python2.4/plat-cygwin', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages'] > But finally I found the solution, the PYTHONHOME environment variable > controls the content of initial sys.path. Thanks anyway. > export PYTHONHOME=/usr/localWang Shuhao IMO, the above is just a workaround, not a solution.
