This will happen automatically if you use Cygwin's python. If you don't, then you have to run a program (for example, ls) by giving the path to the executable - on my system that is: C:\cygwin64\bin\ls.exe Any argument will need to be in a form that the Cygwin program expects. For example. to ls my Cygwin home directory, I could do: C:\cygwin64\bin\ls.exe /home/moss I could also do: C:\cygwin64\bin\ls.exe /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/home/moss You could also go through two steps, using the cygpath program to convert paths to the desired form for a Cygwin program to obtain a Cygwin form name to pass to a Cygwin program.
