Invoking python under CygWin on Windows hangs

Question

Installing a new Windows system, I\'ve installed CygWin and 64 bit Python (2.7.3) in their default locations (c:\\cygwin and c:\\Python27\\python),

Answer 1

My solution involved writing a shell script to run the python app.

python file.py "$@" | tee /dev/null

That extra tee command (to nowhere) seems to fix the issue.
