Hi All,
I am new to Cygwin and am hoping that someone here will be able to tell
me how to get ODBC running in Python on Cygwin.
Maximum gratefullness...

There's a trick to this which involves recompiling from source. If you
aren't experienced with Unix/Linux this might seem a bit intimidating.
The latest version I worked on is mxODBC 2.0.7. If Egenix have released
something later it may incorporate these changes. Sorry they aren't
"diff -c" format.
I also remember the need in the past to rename some ".cpp" files to
".c", but I believe this has now been done in the distributions.
regards
Steve
