[Windows XP Pro, cygwin python 2.4]
Under cygwin, the python executable is installed as python2.4.exe with a symbolic link to python.exe. This is fine as long as one is operating only withing the cygwin world. But I execute python from a foo.bat file, and windows barfs on the symbolic link. I replaced it with a hard link and all
You could rename the symbolic link python.exe to python. Bash finds it anyway and cmd.exe will it ignore it. Several of the symbolic links are created without .exe by the installation.
If you really want to use cygwin-Python from cmd.exe, use doskey to create an alias or create a batch file.

Hard links are available only with NTFS volumes. (OK, you could create a hard link with FAT*, but chkdsk will complain.)
