To a shell script like

----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<----
#!/bin/sh

test -z "$1" && exit 1

env "$( cygpath -au "$1")" "${@:2}"
---->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8----

Then just link all extensions you want to exec through cygwin to this file
type.
I.e.

> ftype unixshell.script
unixshell.script="C:\Programs\Cygwin\bin\env.exe" /bin/cygwrap.sh "%1" %*

> assoc .sh
.sh=unixshell.script

> Well, a shortcut would be a desktop icon, wouldn't it?

Depends. There's a way to make it through "Send to" menu. Then you could even
run scripts without extension.

> Why did you mention python?

It's irrelevant.
