when i run fabric-0.9.1 in cygwin, it say following error:

$ fab test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fab", line 8, in <module>
    load_entry_point('Fabric==0.9.1', 'console_scripts', 'fab')()

ImportError: No module named win32api

My environment is windows xp+cygwin1.75+Python 2.6.5+fabric-0.9.1.

should I install python win32 package for cygwin?

Thanks in advance.
