It's possibile to compile Python with MinGW, and to create extensions
with it. So some site can host a single zip file that contains both
MinGW and Python compiled with it, all ready and set. A person not much
expert can then create compiled small extensions in a short time
without too much complexities. (Or maybe the D language can be packed
into that, instead of MinGW, to do similar things. D can be a good
language used with Python) But then probably PIL, scipy, etc have to be
compiled again for such alternative official or semi-official Python
distribution.
