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
