I use cygwin sshd to access a Windows server, which is quite useful, but
what I'd really like is to be able to use a Windows installation of
Python.

The problem is that things like command history and tab completion don't
work in Windows terminals with Cygwin sshd. Is there anything I can do
about this?

I need Windows Python (IPython actually, which is why tab completion is
so handy) in order to use COM and WMI for server administration.

Many thanks in advance,
Tom Weissmann
