[SOLVED] easy_install on Cygwin: unittest2 causes SyntaxError

easy_install on Cygwin: unittest2 causes SyntaxError

I'm trying to install unittest2 for Cygwin. I expect I'm missing something relatively simple, but I don't know what it is.

$ easy_install --version
distribute 0.6.34

$ python --version
Python 3.2.5

When I try to easy_install unittest2, I get the following output:

$ easy_install -U unittest2
