The above indicates that /bin/sh.exe is not executable. I can reproduce
the problem with the following:
$ python -c 'import os; os.popen("ls").readline()' # works
$ chmod -x /bin/sh.exe
$ python -c 'import os; os.popen("ls").readline()' # doesn't work
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied
$ chmod +x /bin/sh.exe
$ python -c 'import os; os.popen("ls").readline()' # works again

Make your Cygwin executables and DLLs executable. You may have to use
Windows tools, if chmod is not executable...
