+1  Q: 

cygwin version of idle has erroneous I/O handling

I'm using idle (python 2.5) via cygwin on a windows vista machine and when I try to open an already existing .py file I see the full file path

/home/aaron/C:/cygwin/home/aaron/script.py

on the banner of the freshly openned file window when I expect simply

/home/aaron/script.py

In addition, the file appears blank which makes sense...basically idle is opening up a nonexistent file in some fictitious path. So what is causing the problem and how to fix? Anyone?
