Use linux style path when calling python on Windows with bash

To use Linux-style paths when calling Python from a Windows Bash shell (e.g., Git Bash, Cygwin), you need to make sure that the paths are translated correctly between the Linux-style paths used by the shell and the Windows paths expected by the Python interpreter.

You can achieve this using the cygpath command available in both Git Bash and Cygwin. The cygpath command can convert paths between Windows and Unix formats.

Here's how you can call Python using a Linux-style path in a Windows Bash shell:

1. Open the Bash shell (Git Bash, Cygwin, etc.).

2. Use the cygpath command to translate the Linux-style path to a Windows path, and then call Python with the translated path:

bashCopy code
python "$(cygpath -w /path/to/your/script.py)"

Replace /path/to/your/script.py with the actual Linux-style path to your Python script.

The $(cygpath -w ...) part converts the Linux-style path to a Windows path. -w is used to specify the Windows path format.

This approach allows you to use Linux-style paths in the Bash shell while passing the correct Windows path to the Python interpreter.
