You can google around for better info on this, as I've not done Windows C programming since the 90's, but the theme seems to be that you at least need to have MS Visual C++ installed (or maybe not, found some other links).
this seems to be the definitive doc: http://docs.python.org/extending/windows.html then theres some here, including recipes using all free tools: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/101061/building-python-c-extension-modules-for-windows The C extensions with SQLAlchemy aren't really very dramatic IMHO, while it's not a bad thing for them to be running, and certain operations become much faster, you're probably not going to see any miraculous speedups with them enabled - especially if you're on the ORM there's a lot of other places that time is taken up.
