There is but I've forgotten the name.
It actually is slightly different in that it aims 
to build the standard unix(posix?) tools in python.
There is a nice paper somewhere explaining why they 
chose python over perl/tcl  (large project support 
mainly).

Why are they doing this when cygwin does a similar job?
Well, python is portable to a much wider platform range...

I think it's on source-forge somewhere.
