Good Morning, my VIM isn't able to find my Python installation on windows. Thanks in advance for all who take the time to read this question :)
My Current Setup I'm currently running VIM 8.0.27 inside GIT Bash on windows (unmodified 64bit setup from https://git-scm.com/download/win). Furthermore i've installed the 64bit version of Python 3.5.2 in the following directory: "C:/Python35/" I've added "C:/Python35/" and "C:/Python35/Scripts/" to my PATH variable. VIM seems to be compiled with Python support as the version text includes "+python/dyn" and "+python3/dyn".
My Problem
It appears to me that VIM is not able to find my python installation. When I call ":echo has('python')" or ":echo has('python3')" it returns 0. I get the following error message when I try to start VIM with python plugins installed: "UltiSnips requires py >= 2.7 or py3".
Long Term Goal
My goal is to get Greg Hurrel's VIM configuration up and running on Windows 7 (https://github.com/wincent/wincent). Among other things it requires Python and Ruby. I would also appreciate hints regarding other (better) ways to achieve this.

The bitness of your vim build must match the bitness of your Python version. AFAIK, the bitness of the vim that comes with Git for Windows is 32-bit, so it won't talk to 64-bit Python.
Check if running 32-bit Windows version of terminal vim from Git Bash:
