Cygwin is still on Python 2.4.3. I can't see when they intend moving to 2.5 (there's no mention on the mailing list). So using the old way is going to slow down development for a significant chunk of users. Looking at the download stats, .zip downloads exceed .gz downloads by a ratio of 4:1 As an aside, the new quickstart package is the most popular download for 0.6.6. Looks like that was a good move :-) Hugh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
