I do the above myself. I use Cygwin Python for all of my Python needs
except for COM -- then I use Win32 Python.

See the following:

Remember that Cygwin Python is a Unix (i.e., Posix) Python, so you may
lose some of the Win32 Python features. As an example, the _winreg
module is currently not part of Cygwin Python. Although, work has been
done in this area:

The Cygwin Python README might be helpful too:
