Yep. Use python setup.py --compiler=mingw32 to build with the free GNU
compilers.

I used to provide them, but nowadays I recommend people to use pyPgSQL
instead, which incidentally does have win32 binaries
==> http://pypgsql.sf.net/

If you've used the proprietary non DB-API interface of PyGreSQL, you can
ask me to describe how to build the PostgreSQL client libraries and
PyGreSQL using the free mingw compiler or fix your app to use the DB-API
interface, in which case you can use pyPgSQL (or psycopg, if you're so
inclined).

That was my domain once.
