This is not a problem of Cygwin itself. The root cause of the problem is that I installed both in Win32 version and Cygwin version on my machine. The PYTHONHOME environment variable in Windows point to c:\python24. After remove this environment variable, the Cygwin version python's sys.path become correct. Override the environment variable in Cygwing is also Ok.
