As I already told you in my answer: You *can* with a little effort.
Python as a multiplatform scripting language is even better suited for
that as any other Windows tool/program.

When you install Zope for instance on Windows you have to make some
effort to use an existing Python installation and not the Python
interpreter that comes with Zope. Same with Cygwin.
