Here's a patch for git 2.8.1 that I wrote for MSYS2 to address the same issue. Because I'd read this thread before I started working on it (and generally since it's good to) I kept it in mind to make it work for Cygwin in-case you wanted to use it: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-p

Yes, you can use the ctypes module [1] for this sort of thing: import ctypes user32=cdll.LoadLibrary('/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/User32.dll') mbw=getattr(user32,"MessageBoxW") mbw(0,"Hello World","Caption",2) .. but I think the ctypes module on Cygwin's Pythons should support the windll stuff o

l seems sensible. Note however, a full fix also requires another patch that I posted two years ago [1] that Corinna chose not to apply. In the two years since, we've yet to find any issue with that patch. I will rebase it shortly in-case there's any interest in reconsidering it.
