title: Winpty and Git Bash
body: <p>I had the same issue as <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32597209/python-not-working-in-the-command-line-of-git-bash">Python not working in the command line of git bash</a>, where in Git Bash, when I type <code>Python</code>, it just hangs.</p>
  
  <p>However, typing <code>winpty python</code> works perfectly.</p>
  
  <p>What exactly is <code>winpty</code>? Why is the above command useful?</p>
