As an example (not a definite production-ripe setup though): 1) install MS4W / Apache 2) put the OpenLayers tree (or your website tree) in the webroot (htdocs directory of Apache) 3) install Python from python.org 4) put proxy.cgi from OpenLayers examples in Apache's cgi-bin directory 5) change the path to python.exe in proxy.cgi (top line) 6) add the services you want to access through your proxy in the allowed hosts of the proxy
You only need the proxy if your application is gonna do AJAX requests to the WMS (so for instance GetFeatureInfo). If you are just displaying images of the WMS (GetMap) then you don't need the proxy. Good luck.
