This will happen automatically if you use Cygwin's python.
If you don't, then you have to run a program (for example, ls)
by giving the path to the executable - on my system that is:

C:\cygwin64\bin\ls.exe

Any argument will need to be in a form that the Cygwin program
expects.  For example. to ls my Cygwin home directory, I could
do:

C:\cygwin64\bin\ls.exe /home/moss

I could also do:

C:\cygwin64\bin\ls.exe /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/home/moss


You could also go through two steps, using the cygpath program to
convert paths to the desired form for a Cygwin program to obtain
a Cygwin form name to pass to a Cygwin program.
