there are already no less than four mingw ports of python, of varying degrees.

* http://jove.prohosting.com/iwave/ipython/pyMinGW.html

Ok, this one builds pythonXY, so it tries to be compatible with the official distribution (although it seems to link against MSVCRT.dll)

* http://sebsauvage.net/python/mingw.html

That's not a port of Python to MingW. Instead, it is a set of instructions on how to build Python extension modules, using the official Python binaries, with mingw. I think this is obsolete now, as this now ships with Python itself.

* http://python-mingw.donbennett.org/

This doesn't seem to be distributing binaries.
