D'oh. For 2.5 I mean. It may be possible though - just as you can build extensions for Python 2.5 on windows with mingw (with the appropriate distutils configuration), but there are pitfalls with doing this.

Yes, in my case I'm trying to compile guppy (for heapy, which is an amazing tool) but that blows up with mingw...

(But I'm also likely to want to do some python dev on windows, httplib download problems and all...)
