I think he meant something like this:

$ python
Python 3.9.10 (main, Jan 20 2022, 21:37:52)
[GCC 11.2.0] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import os
 >>> os.system("ls")
... output is a list of strings with the contents of current directory
^D

Which is not a question for the Cygwin list, its elementary python.
