Your answer put me on the right track. This works: - downloading mingw - downloading and extracting the tarfile the tar file - python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 - python setup.py install In order to directly use pip / easy_install I created the file %USERPROFILE%\pydistutils.cfg with following two contents: [build] compiler=mingw32 and added mingw to my search path. now in can directly type pip install psyco Thanks again -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
