RE: Problems running Python interactively from GNU-Win32 bash prompt


Its not just python. I have been experiencing the same problems with any
interactive programs. E.g. %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe will fail to
run interactively.

Also, when I have CYGWIN32 set to "title tty strip", the bash shell
hangs when I try exit it.
