If you've got Cygwin going already, then Python is no problem -- until you want to distribute your program. I develop on Python under Linux, then I use distutils to make a Windows .exe out of the Python files. It's not a compiler, it's more like a zip program that unzips the scripts and the Python .dll in a temporary directory, then runs the Python script from there. Pretty smooth. I can just distribute the exe file and the guy I give it to doesn't know or care what language it's written in.
