Using cygwin with python virtualenvwrapper?

Question

I'm new to cygwin, not new to Python.

Trying to install cygwin on a system that already has Python and virtualenvwrapper installed and working fine. In CMD, I can type workon myenv and it works normally, however when I try to run the same command in cygwin bash I get a command not found error.

How do I get cygwin to recognize the command?

Two options here:

you can install python through the Cygwin installation tool

or

you have to execute your script with a full path to your python interpreter, this works in my case:

/cygdrive/c/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Launcher/python my_python_scritp.py
