Building Python on Windows can be done with free tools, so it should be 
possible for you to build Python.

See the instructions here:

When I run this test with a freshly built Python I get the following:

:\compile\python-trunk\PCbuild
 > python_d.exe ..\Lib\test\test_doctest.py
doctest (doctest) ... 66 tests with zero failures
doctest (test.test_doctest) ... 428 tests with zero failures
