Follow these steps:

1. Open Git bash, cd ~
2. Depending on your favorite editortouch, code or vim (in my case) type code .bashrc
3. Add the line alias python='winpty c:/Python27/python.exe' to the open .bashrc
4. Save and Close.
5. Try python --version on git bash again.

Hopefully it works for you.
