Re: What is a DeprecationWarning?

[Mats Bengtsson]

The problem is solved in lilypond version 1.8, but in the
mean time, you could just open the file C:\cygwin\bin\ly2dvi and
replace the lines

try:
        import pre
        re = pre
        del pre
except ImportError:
        import re

with the single line

import re
