I see. It should work. I think you can try the 32bit Python first with
MinGW.org or MinGW-w64 32bit toolchain to see if that works.
32bit Python 2.7 has an import library named libpython27.a for MinGW.
Forget about 64bit Python 2.7 for a while, there Python did not
provide the import library for MinGW and there is more trouble
there.
