I have tried Enthought in the past, for no reason other than curiosity. I hadn't realised that it included a working MingW setup. I'll have to have a look again.

It's targeted at scientific applications but it comes with a working mingw build environment out-the-box (as well as lots of other good stuff). This makes building win32 extensions quite painless. N.B. Their all-in-one Sumo-distribution only goes up to Python-2.4, but their egg repositories and "Enstaller" means you can get the same tools installed with Python-2.5 and leave out all the ones you don't need.

If you're interested I could email you my simple wrapper that I wrote - about 160 LOC. I’ve used the MediaInfo dll via ctypes for this kind of stuff.
