You can use your already innstalled python.  You just may need to do a
little work to make sure paths are correctly translated.  I'm not sure
exactly what you were doing to feed python a /cygdrive... path; you may
just need to replace the #! line in your script to point to a wrapper
that does a cygpath -w translation on its first argument.

Does anyone know if there is any particular reason that PATH translation
ends up with /cygdrive/x/... rather than x:/...?

That's a good way to think of it.
