As for the step on how to start your django in cygwin

first open your windows command prompt then register the python environment by doing this:

Path %path%;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts

then now go to the installation folder of your cygwin

cd C:\cygwin

then run the cygwin.bat like this:

C:\cygwin>cygwin.bat    

then cygwin will open, and type python to see if it now working

$ python

Voila we are done!
