 I haven't tried 2.7.3 yet, so I'll describe my experience with 2.7.2
 I use /usr/include/ncurses   rather than /usr/include/ncursesw
 I don't remember what the difference is but ncurses seems to work.

In Modules/_io/_iomodule.h, use:
PyObject *PyExc_BlockingIOError;
instead of:
PyAPI_DATA(PyObject *) PyExc_BlockingIOError;

But please note that Cygwin does not support Python-2.7. There may be
other reasons.
I don't really use cygwin Python for anything important. It's just
nice to have around since I spend a lot of time in the bash shell.
It would probably be helpful to ask on the Cygwin mailing list
