PyDS runs from Cygwin, but not windows

My 30 day evaluation of RadioLand's commercial web logger has expired and I am back to using PyDS. I installed the source on my WIN/2000 and it all went according to plan; except I am unable to launch PyDS directly from Windows. I get the following errors: G:\PyDS>python pyds-start.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "pyds-start.py", line 28, in ? import PyDS.ConfigLoader File "D:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\PyDS\ConfigLoader.py", line 33, in ? import PyDS.DefaultConfig File "D:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\PyDS\DefaultConfig.py", line 40, in ? HOMEDIR = constructPath(os.environ['HOME'], '.PyDS') File "D:\Python22\Lib\os.py", line 379, in __getitem__ return self.data[key.upper()] KeyError: HOME Yet when I launch from Cygwin, everything is fine. Until I figure this one out, I won't play with customizing the look and feel of my person web log via PyDS.

PyDS - A free, python blog tool

After a few starts and stops, I was able to run PyDS which is very unix oriented in terms of the developer's documentation, on my WIN/2000 box, connect to the Python Community Server, and watch the magic. This is my first posting attempt using PyDS. OK, the posting to the web server worked after I enabled upstreaming. The result was a complete wipeout of what was stored on the web server before via RadioLand and a brand new posting according to the format that I have chosen for PyDS. The next step is to change the appearance of the web log site.
