Hi Cirilo, KiCad-Winbuilder honours KiCad's build system, and at the moment that doesn't include a working method to compile python support into PCBNEW yet. I will work on that in the near future, I expect other people are putting effort into that too. Once the KiCad build system can support building a python-enabled KiCad, KiCad-Winbuilder can be used to easily build it using a portable version of python.
Hopefully it won't take too long before we can have a Windows version that includes python! :D Best Regards, Brian.
