bug#20237: Emacs built on Windows cannot figure out path correctly

[Da Zhang]

Thank you!

You are right, the problem was caused by this cygwin bash shell. When I disabled it, python can be run correctly.

(w32-shell-name) RET returns

"C:/cygwin64/bin/bash.exe"

I think you need to use this instead:

  (setq python-shell-interpreter "/cygdrive/C/Python27/Scripts/ipython")

Or something like that -- I don't use Cygwin, so I might be mistaken
about the exact format you need to use.

Actually, if you use this format, you'd probably also need to use
cygwin-mount as well.

So the second alternative, to remove the setup for Cygwin Bash, is IMO
better.  Mixing a native Windows Emacs with Cygwin is a tricky
business.

Yet another possibility is to use a Cygwin build of Emacs.
