In short, you get what you've paid for.
That being said, Christoph Gohlke provides unofficial Windows builds of lxml. I can't make any guarantees for them, because they are binary builds, but I'm certainly grateful that he does it because then I don't have to.
Brian Curtin <brian.curtin@gmail.com> was able to get a bunch of free MSDN subscriptions for Python developers. The MSDN subscription includes free access to Windows and Visual Studio downloads and licences. He might be able to get additional subscriptions. It still costs time to build Windows binaries but at least you might get free access to the entire tool chain. Christian
