Environment variable mixing when starting non-cygwin GVIM from within cygwin terminal?


Hi,

I usually start the non-cygwin gvim.exe via the rxvt cygwin console doing something like:

% gvim filename.py

the problem is that, when inside GVIM, when I do:

:py print os.environ['PATH']

I see a lot of cygwin paths which messes up the Python path that GVIM wants to use. Is there a way to start gvim.exe so that this doesn't happen? Note that I can avoid this situation by starting GVIM in a plain vanilla CMD window, or from a standard window shortcut, instead of using the cygwin terminal.

This is on Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3.


Thanks!
