Hey Daniel, It appears those instructions were meant for an actual linux box. Cygwin has numerous differences as an environment from an actual linux machine / bash environment, and so sometimes issues like this appear when attempting to follow instructions meant for linux.
You could try to look at the permissions of /usr/include/python2.7. Maybe the user you're logged-in as when running the command doesn't have permissions for that folder? You could try to run chmod -R +r /usr/include/python2.7 to make the folder and its contents readable by all users. Other than this, I'm not sure how else to debug the issue. One option you could try is to set up a development linux machine in Compute Engine and run the commands from there. You can turn it off when not in use so that billing is minimized. I hope this is helpful!
