Now I want to run django-admin, but when I do I get the error:

Help us help you. Is there a reason why you are running the windows python interpreter (c:\Python26\python.exe) as oppose to the cygwin python interpreter (/usr/bin/python.exe)? That could be your problem. So to troubleshoot that, you might consider removing the windows native interpreter or simply making sure the cygwin path is listed before the c:\Python26 path in the windows global PATH variable.
