To a shell script like
----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<----
#!/bin/sh
test -z "$1" && exit 1
env "$( cygpath -au "$1")" "${@:2}"
---->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8----
Then just link all extensions you want to exec through cygwin to this file
type.
I.e.
> ftype unixshell.script
unixshell.script="C:\Programs\Cygwin\bin\env.exe" /bin/cygwrap.sh "%1" %*
> assoc .sh
.sh=unixshell.script
> Well, a shortcut would be a desktop icon, wouldn't it?
Depends. There's a way to make it through "Send to" menu. Then you could even
run scripts without extension.
> Why did you mention python?
It's irrelevant.
