There was a project at one time to implement all the Unix 
commands in Python but I think it died off. But then why 
not just download Cygwin? Then you get a real Bash shell 
and all the other Unix commands native on Windows 
(including X if you really want!). 

No Unix hacker should ever be without Cygwin when on a 
windows box...
