I am using CYGWIN as a platform and would like to use wxPython. Is there a way to get the source compiled and working in cygwin?

+3  A: 

You would need a full working X environment to get it to work. It would be much easier to just use Python and wxPython under plain vanilla Windows. Do you have a special case?

Sam Corder
Yes I really want to avoid using plain vanilla windows.It is for a front end for a librarian's build scrip. The librarian really doesn't want to install python and wxpython on her windows. I have thought about win32::gui in perl or even tcl/tck or perl/tk but I thought I would give python a shot.

Can you expand on a full working X environment?
Paul
The gui environment for Python under Cygwin would be X11.
