Python and Cython wrappers for Cygwin's C API.
pip install PyCygwin
Naturally, this is only installable in Cygwin-provided Python (i.e. where
sys.platform == 'cygwin').
The initial version (v0.1) does not provide a complete cover for the API. It only supports three useful functions:
cygwin.cygpath-- this provides a (partial) equivalent to the cygpath system utility, supporting the most useful functionality thereof (that is, converting Cygwin paths to native Windows paths and vice-versa).cygwin.winpid_to_pid-- converts the native Windows PID of a process to its PID in Cygwin (if it is a Cygwin process).cygwin.pid_to_winpid-- likewise, converts the PID of a Cygwin process to its native Windows PID.
