One of the things Cygwin provides is a standard POSIX interface to the OS. Cygwin Python is built on top of this. If you want to use a Python that interfaces to the Win32 OS then you want to use the Win32 version of Python. To do so you will need to invoke some $PATH trickery and be responsible for proper 'path' translations.
