The workaround to running the python interpreter from git bash is to preface python with the command winpty like so
`winpty python`

I'll try it out! Thank you.
What's the Python issue?
There's no package manager so there's no way to install things and there's no Python included.
You could run your Windows Python but the paths will be wrong (C:\ instead of /c/), etc.
Git bash will translate /c/ to C:\ so that’s only sometimes true. But it won’t translate //c/ or if you set a certain env var… etc. Having to recall all these rules is one reason I dislike working in git bash on windows.
But looking back and comparing it to Git Bash experience of today, with a simple installer to run, Git Bash wins in convenience. It does suck in other areas though such as trying to start a Python interpreter session (I fallback to PowerShell for that)
Cygwin has probably grown a lot better since but I don't see a reason to try it, personally.
