They too are working in Python and have a windows target, and I know they are using at least a few C extensions to python.

Specifically, that challenge is using the GNU linker from the MSYS environment to link to the Python for Windows libraries included in the Python Windows installer, and produce a Windows-native executable. I began working Sunday, yesterday I wasted a lot of time accidentally checking out your entire Subversion repository. With that time in mind, I should have a simple document explaining the process available tomorrow or Thursday night. I only just noticed that you said if a person is more forthcoming about their efforts that you'll prefer to accept their solution. So, here I am, coming forth. I also have a question about automation. I would like to put together perhaps an installer to simply download, install, and configure the necessary programs. However I'd rather not try to compete for the bounty pay-out that way. Rather, once the bounty has been won, I would like to supplement my instructions with a simple installer to help expedite the tedious process of getting started. I hope to hear from you soon… actually I hope this is an appropriate venue for contact. The page that suggested I make contact is listed below. That page didn't really make it very clear who is appropriate to contact, or how to do so. https://develop.participatoryculture.org/projects/democracy/wiki/WindowsCompileBounty Thanks for the Democracy Player!
