Cygwin Python with a static Python library?

[Jason Tishler]

There have been some recent posts on python-list@ regarding whether
or not Cygwin Python should be built with a shared (i.e., DLL) Python
library or a static one.  Note that Cygwin Python currently uses a DLL
library like the Win32 one.

Does anyone have compelling reasons why Cygwin Python needs a static
library?  If so, then I will consider submitting a patch to Python CVS
to enable this for Cygwin.  Unfortunately, it will be difficult to fit
this cleanly into the Python Unix build infrastructure due to the extra
steps required to build an executable that exports symbols with the
current Cygwin binutils.

See attached for more details, if interested.

Thanks,
Jason
