Since Python runs natively in Windows, why are you trying to run it

see a reason for it.
I do it because it's easier to install third party packages, those that
need an external library to run. Cygwin come with a lot of lib* and
lib*-devel that permit to just run `pip install xxx' if not already
packaged. I gave a try on the native Windows version and Anaconda but
there is at least one package that I could not run (and I loosed
a lot of time to compile a bunch of libraries).
Example of package: pyproj (proj4), openpyxl with lxml (libxml2,
libxslt) and pillow (libjpeg, zlib, libtiff, ...), psycopg2 (libpq).
I belive these are all available at
