Easy to spot once I focus on the filename and the Windows path it contains: even under Cygwin I am running the Windows easy_install, and so it reports that SQLAlchemy is already installed in Windows!
I chickened out of running ez_setup under Cygwin, and just used the "download tar, unpack, run setup.py install" dance. Happily this installed everything perfectly (so far as can currently be discerned). So life goes on.

I do a lot of work with Python and Cygwin on windows, and I find it best to only install windows python, and use a bash script wrapper to call it.
Well, I like to use the Cygwin paths and filename completion in the Cygwin command windows (for which I use rxvt to make the enviroment more Unix-like).
I realize it's a slower implementation, but convenience figures higher on the list than efficiency for development work.
A more powerful computer is relatively easy. A more powerful me is difficult :-)
