*** Attention Cygwin Python module package maintainers: ***
*** Cygwin has migrated from Python 2.5 to 2.6. ***
*** Please build, test, and release your packages ASAP. ***
New News:
=== ====
I have updated the version of Python to 2.6.5-2. The tarballs should be
available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly.
The following are the changes since the previous release:
o promote from experimental to current
o build against ncursesw (instead of ncurses)
o export PySignal_SetWakeupFd (used by PyGObject/PyGtk)
o build _ctypes module against Cygwin's libffi
o change /usr/bin/python to be a copy instead of a symlink, so
Cygwin Python is directly executable from Windows
Note if you upgrade to 2.6.5-2, then any Python 2.5 module will no
longer work.
Old News:
=== ====
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language. If interested, see the Python web site for more details:
http://www.python.org/
Please read the README file:
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/python.README
since it covers requirements, installation, known issues, etc.
Standard News:
======== ====
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your
system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.
