I am following this thread with interest too, because I can certainly report that it is now indeed possible and quite easy to compile not only Python's 2.4 extensions but also Python itself in MinGW with the help of pyMinGW[1]. Indeed there is no need to buy or even download 400MB+ of code to do so.

That's good to know, but somewhat unrelated to the issue under discussion. While it is clear from your message that you can build python, as well as python extensions with MingW, it is not that clear whether extensions build with mingw will work in the standard 2.4 distribution, or whether you can use the standard 2.4 distribution to build extensions with mingw.
