For what it's worth, some third party compilers can build extensions that
are compatible with the MSVC-built python (mingw, for instance), and I'm
pretty sure some folks are using TDM-GCC as well.

I"d checkout the numpy/scipy communities, there's a lot of work going on
there with that.

Here is one example:

But I imagine you've got your work cut out for you in any case.
