python+virtualenv on Cygwin

I have been trying to make my default environment for development to be

1. Install Python.
2. Download and unzip pip.
3. Install by going into the expanded directory and running python setup.py in a command prompt.
4. Set the %PYTHONHOME% system variable to the python base directory, (i.e. C:\Python27\) and adding the python base directory and script directory (i.e. C:\Python27\Scripts) to your %PATH% system variable.
5. Install Cygwin WITHOUT Python. The previous step tells Cygwin to use the Windows binary.
6. Install Cygwin-Virtualenvwrapper using pip install https://bitbucket.org/cliffxuan/virtualenvwrapper-for-cygwin-windows-python/get/tip.tar.gz
7. Install virtualenvwrapper-win using pip install virtualenvwrapper-win
8. Make a symlink between Cygwin’s virtualenvhome directory and Windows’s using ln -s /cygdrive/c/Users/<USER>/Envs/ ~/.virtualenvs
9. Add the following to Cygwin’s .bashrc file:
   export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=”/cygdrive/c/Python27/python.exe”
   export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV=”/cygdrive/c/Python27/Scripts/virtualenv.exe”
   source virtualenvwrapper.sh
10. Go to C:\User\<username>\Env (or other %VIRTUALENV_HOME% location) and use virtualenv to start a new environment. Doing this allows virtualenvwrapper-win‘s workon command to work.
