FWIW, I verified this.  Cygwin tar works fine.

Ok, I dowloaded and built Python 2.5 and put python25.dll where
PyLucene expects it to be.  Everything then compiled for me just fine.
 Do I need to leave the python25.dll there?  I removed it and PyLucene
seemed to work fine without it.

If you'd like me to send you the .pyd so you can post it, let me know.

Thanks for all the help!
