I'm working on this too.  Which python are you aiming to use?  I 'd 
guess 2.7 (that is the one I'm aiming for anyway).

Are you using
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows#Instructions_for_an_.28almost.29_automated_build
as your base because I'm finding some bits of that aren't working and 
I'm considering a re-write using cygwin rather than mingw as it may make 
things easier for Win folks to follow.

If you've got further that "almost automated build" I'd be interested in 
sharing experiences with you.

P.S.  Should we not be having this conversation in -devel ?
