Wishful thinking : unix to windows script?

Or does anyone have a python script which takes a standard unix
command as an argument and runs the pyton/windows equivalent on
windows?

This would seem to be a request of overkill of the worst kind, given the
existing availability of tools like Cygwin (www.cygwin.com) and, more
recently, CoLinux (www.colinux.org).

Why do it in Python when it's better done already?

There's not always an equivalent command.

If you install cygwin there almost always is.

Also worth mentioning: GnuWin32

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

Especially useful if you just want a few specific tools (and not an
entire OS).

If you install cygwin there's no need for what the OP describes.

you might also want to take a look at
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
where are the tools are available in a single zip file.
