Where did you read this. Py++ has dependency on GCC-XML, not on GCC,
neither on cygwin.

The following URL explains how to install it:

It is up to you. Py++ is not simple and it takes day or two to learn
to operate it.
But you don't have. If you just start with Boost.Python you still can use it:

and save a lot of time.
