My rationale was simply that Cygwin has a version of python new enough
to suit my purposes (2.5.2), and it runs on Windows. And, it's better
to have 1 version of python installed than more than one, which could
possibly sow confusion amongst others who don't know better.
Also, the Cygwin version

Also, the Cygwin version of python uses a normal UNIX-style path of
/usr/bin/python, which makes it simpler to run the same python
programs on both UNIX and Windows, which is one of my requirements.
If you think going with the native Windows version of python is better
script directly, will that make a difference ? I'm not
sure how different the cygwin environment is from the normal Windows
environment. And when I ssh into the Windows system, I'm definitely
under the Cygwin influence.

Python downloads for windows are right on the website. Unless you have a
pressing need to use the 3rd party cygwin version you should just download
it from python.org
If you're just starting out you should grab 3.0.1. It'll get you started
right.

I'm not comfortable going with 3.x yet. We have vast amounts of
legacy python from 2.x
on the Windows side (2.4). I do my development in Linux and just check
test Windows.
I have no idea how to do that...
Also, given that I want to be able to ssh into the windows system and
exec a python script directly, will that make a difference ? I'm not

I believe it will make a difference. I don't think Cygwin knows or
cares about Windows file extension mappings. (Then again, it's been
years and years since I touched Cygwin. My memory could be bad or the
software could have evolved or I might have missed a feature.)

How does one go about specifying an alternate home directory in Cygwin?
Right now, ~ == / and I'd rather it be /cygdrive/d/User\ Profiles/eprice
export HOME=/cygdrive/d/User Profiles/eprice
The above establishes your home directory - there really is no alternate home
directory in Unix
I don't know anything about CygWin but (on an
obliquely related note) I can tell you that
changing your home directory has a few gotchas
on Linux because not every chunk of software
figures out how to find a given account's home
directory by the same method. For example,
