I did some more testing. It seems that the hang problem is specific to python only. I tried the Windows Server 2008 with Hyper V RC1 version which is a later build than the enterprise RC1 version. The python hang persists. However, cygwin installation with or without python goes through without a problem. Python hangs when opening the interactive interpreter shell or when running a python script. Commands like "python --help" work just fine. How could I debug it further? What tools do cygwin developers usually use to figure out where the problem is? I tried using WinDbg but could not make much sense out of it. -- Nimish -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
