[Bf-python] Re: Can't use Python sets in Blender 2.40

[Tron Thomas]

I checked and I have Python 2.4.1 installed as part of Cygwin.  I'm 
thinking that I shouldn't need to install another version of Python, 
however I don't know how to get Blender to use this version.  I tried 
setting the PYTHONPATH variable to the bin directory of my Cygwin 
installation.  That didn't work.  I assigned the variable as a user 
variable.  I did not reboot the system afterward.  Writing a simple 
command line program showed the variable had been applied as expected.

What else might make the Cygwin Python library work with Blender?
