Unable to uninstall python 2.7 via the Cygwin setup program

Hi.
I am running Cygwin 64-bit on Windows 7 and had installed the
following packages using the Cygwin Setup program (v2.850 64 bit):
python
python-openssl
python-setuptools
python-tkinter
python3
python3-openssl
python3-tkinter
I then tried to uninstall them using the same tool, and while I could
uninstall all the python3 packages, I couldn't uninstall python and
python-tkinter. When I tried to uninstall one, it would pop up an
error about the other being a dependency, and the same sort of thing
happened when I tried to uninstall both. As a result, I can't get rid
of python.
Does this make sense? I'm hoping someone can suggest a simple fix.
Thanks.
Andrew Scott
