pycharm interpreter using cygwin version python

Question

I am running django python2.7 using Pycharm in windows. Now I have some issue with redis queue not working in windows because of this

I am trying to do what this person did here . Use a cygwin version of python as pycharm interpreter.

(not sure if I downloaded all the packages or did correct steps) I downloaded cygwin and install packages python2.7 + python-setuptools and then try to point my Pycharm interpreter to c:/cygwin/bin/python27.exe

After that it seem ok and ask me to install packing tools pip, I clicked it and it give me this error:

"Cannot start process, the working directory '\\cygdrive\\c\\Users\\User1G~1.SIS\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\1\\tmpYpudf2pycharm-management\\pip-7.1.0' does not exist"

Answer 1

According to the error message it looks like pip can't be found... Are you sure you have installed pip?

Take a look here, how you can install pip: Installing Pip-3.2 on Cygwin

You can open a cygwin command line window and try to manually install the packages you want to.
