I am essentially inexperienced with building python libraries from source, but it seems as though 'mmh3' is not available in binary form. I'm attempting to build a simple Bloom filter and mmh3 is needed for its hashing functionality. If someone could explain the process of building from source using MinGW on a WinXP machine, I would appreciate it. The source file is in the .tar.gz format.

The first and easiest thing to try is installing it with pip, the Python package manager. If you're not familiar with pip, documentation is at pip-installer.org. If you want help getting it installed on Windows, see this useful SO post.

Once you have pip, the command you run will be simply pip install mmh3

Also, if you don't need murmur hash specifically, definitely check out Python's included hashlib.
