One of my coworkers had a whole setup script for getting an entire python development environment setup on Windows using Cygwin, including pip, virtualenv, mysql, gcc, ang cyg-get (like apt-get for Cygwin). All of the rest of us in the office use Macs or Linux (me), but he was able to checkout our projects from git, pip install the requirements files, and work just like the rest of us on his Windows machine. It required a lot of a figuring stuff out, but he kept great notes and can now go from a new install to a full environment by just following his notes.
