Hi, I just found out that in the standard Cygwin Python setup it is not possible to run the Python interpreter from a Win32 command shell. (You get an error about the NTVDM (NT Virtual DOS machine even when C: \cygwin\bin is in the path). The reason is that python.exe is a symbolic link to python2.5.exe. As the Python interpreter itself is only about 43 Kb in size I suggest copying the interpreter instead of symlinking (Zsh for instance does the same).
