Maybe you could delegate a lot of the testing to competent volunteers?
That would be probably 2 times as much work the first couple of times,
(you'd need to formalize your "script" for testing[1] and then
check that the volunteers are understanding it correctly, etc) but if
they are reliable you could turn that around a lot faster in the future.


Footnotes: 
[1]  Doesn't Windows have a way to send synthetic GUI events to a
program?  There ought to be a way to really script that, as the Python
installer process presumbly doesn't change much from release to release.
