How do you call ActivePython from cygwin shell?

How do you call ActivePython from cygwin shell?

I installed ActivePython which is a Python version 3.x installation for
Windows. I renamed the interpreter to be activepython.exe so as to allow
calling it from cygwin without modifying /etc/profile path.
When I am in cmd.exe shell I can call ActivePython interpreter without
arguments and enter interactive mode. When I execute the ActivePython
interpreter from Cygwin shell, the shell just hangs indefinitely after
hitting enter (similar to accounts seen by others here).
