Not ideal, but slightly better than random people's blogs, there is this: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python2 These are packages for Arch Linux (the same way we have mingw-* packages in Fedora), with patches when necessary. >From my earlier discussins with them, the Python patches had been partly submitted upstream, but never really merged.
