ANSI escapes in Python with Cygwin

Hi,
Perhaps I missed something somewhere but...
I can make the same escape sequences to make color (bold...) text in Python
and Bash when under Linux.
This don't work with Cygwin: only bash ANSI escape sequences are equivalent
on Cygwin and Bash/Linux.
In example:
[bash]python
>>> RED = chr(27) + '[31m'
>>> print RED + 'hello world in red'
<-[31mhello world in red
The escape character is printed as a left arrow (1 character cell) and the
ANSI code is printed !
The color of the text does not turn to red.
Notes :
1/ I did not test the same in perl but I guess it should be identical.
2/ I tested this with both "official" binary distributions (1.5.2 and 2.0)
of Python for Windows.
Did I miss something or should I do something else to get it at work.
Thanks in advance for some light
