bash /cmd disagree about owner and permissions to executable

I prefer to have a single installation of python, rather than having to remember to install packages for various pythons. I choose the standard windows 64-bit install of python 3.8 But today when I tried to run a script ... Heidi@panter ~ $ python3 x.py -bash: /cygdrive/c/Users/Heidi/AppData/L

Annoying error messages from setup

ts will enable those # corresponding to installed packages. I suspect that the postinstall script is broken, enabling formats that are not installed. It would take me quite long time to track down how this is implemented in the postinstall script. Who can I report this to? Regards, Enri

Re: cygwin 1.5.23-2 : I can't use select() with serial device and socket
