- Subject: very odd behavior of Cygwin python from CMD
With c:\cygwin\bin in my PATH, if I open a CMD shell and invoke
python
I get some garbage characters on my console, and then it freezes. If
I instead do
set USER=dave && python
there are no garbage characters and no freeze, but also no python
process.
Can anyone explain this?
Thanks,
