Enthought Python + Cygwin

RMJ
After installing Enthought's python and typing 'python' from within cygwin
the program hangs with no output. I do not remember this being the case
with earlier versions of Enthought python. Is this version not compatible
with cygwin? Or, is there some configuration file that needs changing? It
does run successfully with 'python somecode.py' -but without printing out
intermediate results.

Thanks!

There are some known "tty" issues when running native Win32 programs
under Cygwin. They typical manifest themselves under rxvt and (IIRC)
when CYGWIN=tty. Try using bash (instead of rxvt) and CYGWIN=notty.

BTW, Cygwin Python does not have any of these issues. If you don't need
any Win32 Python features, then you may want to use this version
instead.

Jason,

Adding a line Set CYGWIN="notty" in the Cygwin-Tcsh.bat file now enables me
to run Enthought python. Thank you for your help! I like this version
because it has the Scipy packages, etc pre-installed.

You are quite welcome.

No problem. I mentioned Cygwin Python just in case CYGWIN=notty didn't
work.
