Python shell ignores keys

Greetings,

I'm trying to use the Python shell from within Cygwin.  The complication is that I need to use 
the Windows version of Python not the Cygwin version, ultimately through ssh, but atleast 
from a cygwin bash prompt for now.

The problem is that the Windows Python shell ignores or doesn't recv important keys like ctrl-
z or ctrl-c and the up/down cursor keys move the cursor not the command line history.

Otherwise everything seems to work fine (the scripts themselves run without an issue), 
atleast for what I need.

I do quite a lot of python programming, its not really feasible (or a good idea) to maintain a 
second cygwin python installation.

I realize these guys are chalk and cheese, but is it possible to fix this ?

Windows XP
Cygwin is current
Python 2.4.3

Thanks,
Shane
