google app engine in cygwin

I am trying to install google app engine in cygwin. I know I need to install python 2.7 to run. This is because with 3.0 I had some problems. But 2.7.3 doesn't exist in the cygwin installation package. I can install it in windows, but cannot access it from cygwin. Does someone know the proper way to run Google App Engine in windows using Cygwin?

I've tried running GAE in cygwin. Mostly because I ran other tools like git in cygwin.

The proper way is to run GAE outside of cygwin and follow the windows instructions on the GAE downloads page.

If you need a linux environment, run linux in a VM. It'll be much less painful than cygwin. You'll run into many other issues with cygwin where certain tools like git work 95% of the time but have frustrating bugs the other 5%.
