Yes, the regular binary download from python.org. Only it's compiled
with Visual C++ instead of mingw32.

It's possible to compile Python with mingw32 if you write a custom
Makefile.

It would be even better to have the mingw32 build integrated in the
autoconf based build process, but that's serious work. It's somewhere in
the middle of my opensource-should-be-done-someday todo list.
