Way way back when pluggable transports were first integrated into Tor Browser, we tried compiling Python and it was too problematic to be worth it. Here is the comment you want to read:

Those comments are two years old now. Maybe things have changed and it's easier to cross-compile for Windows now. If it's something you have expertise with, it'd be great if you tried it!
Hi David, thanks for the reply. I don't have any particular expertise with this myself (I've done some reproducible build work using Gitian but it was all fairly standard C++ code), but I'm aware that the Bitcoin wallet Armory is attempting to do Gitian builds for Windows, and a lot of their code is Python. I've pointed their reproducible build specialist to this thread. Armory's progress on this isn't very complete yet (they're still working through bugs introduced by cross-compiling Python), but maybe they'll learn something from your notes, and maybe they'll be able to move things forward.
