In minimalconfig.py, line 89, the signature for get_posix_dir():

  def get_posix_dir(major_version):

Observe it requires one argument.

Later on, uses of this function, at line 183:

if platform == 'cygwin':
    base_dir = get_posix_dir()

And line 204:

else:
    base_dir = get_posix_dir(major_version)

The first instance will clearly error out. I am having this problem when trying to run from cygwin - minimalconfig.py is loaded through wingdbstub.py. I have been following the instructions:

https://wingware.com/doc/howtos/cygwin

And it simply doesn't work. After a lot of digging through wingdbstub.py I was able to find this error:

• call to NP_CreateMetaImporter() at line 282 of wingdbstub.py exceptions, because it is given user_settings as None
• NP_SetupWingHomeModule(), called at line 281, returned user_settings as None
• Within NP_SetupWingHomeModule(), call to _NPLoadModuleFromBootstrap('minimalconfig'...) failed
• Within _NPLoadModuleFromBootstrap(), call to _NP_LoadModuleFromDir() fails
• Within _NP_LoadModuleFromDir() the call to imp.load_module() fails as the load involves calling get_posix_dir(). If I try to replicate this and catch a generic error, I can get the message "get_posix_dir()" takes exactly1 argument (0 given)"
