Can you please remove the hard-coded path you are using for python and allow
the user to specify path in the
installer?

There is no hard-coded python path. That's all done by the python distutils
module
automatically, which searches the windows registry for Python installations.
Since
Cygwin Python doesn't modify the windows registry, I don't think it will ever be
detected by any distutils module. Do you know of other windows binary extension
modules for which this works?

Ahh i see, yes cygwin will not add a windows registry key specifying the
python bin path.
So I suggest you add a feature in to the installer that will allow the
user to specify a path for python if one was not found in the
registry.
Can you do that please?
Thanks.

It's unfortunately not as easy as you'd like. The installer program is
generated
automatically by python distutils, so I don't have much control over that
process.

I correct my previous comment (deleted):
Error only occurs for 64bit Python installations - my mistake.
