If you now unix then you owe it to yourself to install cygwin. It will give you a Linux box on your windows box. Complete with xterms and bash and all the other Unix tools you know. But it doesn't help at all in developing Python code for Windows users of whom 99% will still be using the standard cmd shell. Cygwin is more useful if you need to work in Windows but also want to target *nix users. That way round it works pretty well.
