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.
