I don't see how your comment is not a disagreement with Keith's, since we were talking about using a native Windows program, Python, from within MSYS shell. You sounded like a MSYS developer knowing what you were saying, but so it did Keith. What should I believe? After all, is MSYS designed as a minimalist general-purpose system, not free of issues with native (non-MSYS) programs, or was it "specially and carefully crafted" to write MinGW programs? 2012/10/24 Eli Zaretskii <el...@gn...> > > From: Renato Silva <br....@gm...> > > Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:29:11 -0200 > > > > 2012/10/23 Keith Marshall <kei...@us...> > > > > > On 23/10/12 21:06, Renato Silva wrote: > > > > ... as MSYS is not designed itself as a general purpose command line, > > > > but as support for the MinGW compilers. > > > > > > I do wish users would stop broadcasting this blatant propaganda.
