Dear Cygwin Team,

sorry - I was too quick. Actually the packages are the other way around:

New is:

python python-2.7.18-1.tar.bz2 0
python-pip-wheel python-pip-wheel-19.2.3-1.tar.bz2 0
python-setuptools-wheel python-setuptools-wheel-41.2.0-1.tar.bz2 0
python2 python2-2.7.18-2.tar.bz2 0
python27 python27-2.7.18-2.tar.bz2 0
python27-pip python27-pip-20.2.2-1.tar.bz2 0
python27-setuptools python27-setuptools-41.2.0-1.tar.bz2 0
python3 python3-3.8.6-1.tar.bz2 0
python36 python36-3.6.10-1.tar.bz2 0
python38 python38-3.8.3-1.tar.bz2 0

$ which python
which: no python in 
(/build/bin_special:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/bin)

Old is:

python-pip-wheel python-pip-wheel-19.2.3-1.tar.bz2 0
python-setuptools-wheel python-setuptools-wheel-41.2.0-1.tar.bz2 0
python2 python2-2.7.18-1.tar.bz2 0
python27 python27-2.7.18-1.tar.bz2 0
python3 python3-3.6.8-1.tar.bz2 0
python36 python36-3.6.10-1.tar.bz2 0

$ which python
/usr/bin/python

So I don't see an easy fix for this - short of creating the symlink 
manually.

Best regards,

Michael
