One of the things Cygwin provides is a standard POSIX interface
to the OS. Cygwin Python is built on top of this.
If you want to use a Python that interfaces to the Win32 OS then
you want to use the Win32 version of Python.
To do so you will need to invoke some $PATH trickery and
be responsible for proper 'path' translations.
Good Luck, this link might help
