guslThe python.exe that comes with cygwin is version 2.5 (and I don't know how to add the module msvcrt).
The python.exe that I got from python.org is version 2.6, but I want to run it inside cygwin... when I do that, it doesn't seem to do anything. Probably because this file is meant to be executed from within Windows (double-clicked), rather than through the shell.
Why things worked before, I'm not sure. All I know is that after reinstalling cygwin, python can't find msvcrt... I suspect that cygwin installed a different version of python.
