Setting 'tty' for Cygwin will not have any affect on Windows programs.
Only Cygwin ones.  Running a Windows program from a Cygwin shell prompt
can cause output from the Windows program to get "lost" since they don't
understand ptys.  Use Cygwin's python and you won't have the particular
problem you mentioned when run from a Cygwin shell prompt with 'tty' set.
