It is - however adding os2 the the list of platforms to the ones to 
exclude gets me only a little further:

It then bombs with:
running build
running build_ext
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./setup.py", line 2092, in <module>
     main()
   File "./setup.py", line 2087, in main
     'Lib/smtpd.py']
   File "U:/DEV/python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/core.py", line 152, in setup
     dist.run_commands()
   File "U:/DEV/python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/dist.py", line 953, in 
run_commands
     self.run_command(cmd)
   File "U:/DEV/python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/dist.py", line 972, in 
run_command
     cmd_obj.run()
   File "U:/DEV/python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/command/build.py", line 127, 
in run
     self.run_command(cmd_name)
   File "U:/DEV/python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/cmd.py", line 326, in run_command
     self.distribution.run_command(command)
   File "U:/DEV/python-2.7.2/Lib/distutils/dist.py", line 972, in

     self.build_extensions()
   File "./setup.py", line 152, in build_extensions
     missing = self.detect_modules()
   File "./setup.py", line 1368, in detect_modules
     if '--with-system-expat' in sysconfig.get_config_var("CONFIG_ARGS"):
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable
make: *** [sharedmods] Error 1

Which again points to problems with sysconfig.get_config_var("CONFIG_ARGS"):

Thanks,
