How to Build a Python Cygwin
Cygwin is a Unix-based emulator environment for Microsoft Windows computers. This is useful if you need to run or test Unix or Linux applications on your Windows computer without dual-booting an operating system. Cygwin features, amongst other functions, the ability to run Python scripts and applications. To install a Python application, you have to build it. While the command to build a Python script in Cygwin is very similar to the Unix command, you also need to include the cygwin flag to the end of the statement.
