 Cygwin is not really a supported platform. Reverting to Python 3.1
won't help at all. Download the 2.6.5 source version (i.e., click the
Src box) using cygwin setup. Apply the included patches [some don't
apply cleanly any more]. That will get you most of the way there.
There are a few other issues the details of which I don't remember.
 I'm not sure why there hasn't been a cygwin distribution lately. You
might ask on the cygwin mailing list. [Ultimately somebody with an
interest in cygwin will need to get active in python development. I've
been meaning to do this but life gets in the way.]
