 The best way to resolve this is to exit from the IDE, then relaunch.  This usually fixes the problem, though you may wish to clean and rebuild the JavaScriptCoreGenerated and WebCoreGenerated projects.
 
+=== Problems with Python auto-update ===
+You may encounter errors when the build environment attempts to install Python modules when running Cygwin in a Windows host OS inside a VMWare instance.  The errors will look like the following:
+{{{
+webkitpy.common.system.autoinstall: INFO     Auto-installing package: eliza.py
+webkitpy.common.system.autoinstall: INFO         From: "http://www.adambarth.com
+/webkit/eliza"
+webkitpy.common.system.autoinstall: INFO           To: "/cygdrive/e/Projects/Web
+Kit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/thirdparty/autoinstalled/eliza.py"
+Traceback (most recent call last):
+  File "/cygdrive/e/Projects/WebKit/Tools/Scripts/test-webkitpy", line 266, in <
+module>
+    Tester().run_tests(sys.argv, external_package_paths)
+  File "/cygdrive/e/Projects/WebKit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/test/main.py", line 1
+}}}
+
+This seems to happen when running VMWare in NAT networking mode.  If you switch to Bridged networking, everything should work properly.
