Hi,

I can see that python still doesn't support mingw environnment whil
during past years some people provided some patch.
I wanted recently to compile Python-3.0.1 on mingw and I have found a
patch in a svn repository of a opensource project(don't remember which
one)- So I attach it and I hope it will studied by python dev.
Generally it's not very difficult, you should add some #ifdef
__MINGW32__ when needeed and hack around these lines.
Don't understand you still don't support it.

So this patch is a first step because it doesn't work very well, I mean
I had to copy manually errmap.h from PC to include folder.
And after I get an issue :

gcc -L/usr/local/lib  -o python.exe \
                Modules/python.o \
                libpython3.0.a    -lm
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
