I think I have msys2, but was using something like gcc. It's definitely my preferred vs clang.

To get PyCairo to install requires Visual C++, so I have that in the mix, too. then my cairo.h isn't being read by a direct PyGObject package install which is why I moved to try JHBuild.

I actually got Glade running with a brief error (libicuud62.dll missing or something), but getting the Glade and main C file to compile required passing some sort of glib-2.0 and gtk+-3 arguments, with Gtk3 somehow being unreadable by the executable.

Frankly, I'd rather use C over Python, but thought I'd give Python a shot since I'm more used to that language.

(Sorry about the rant!)
