@ulope told me the Ethereum sphere has interest in supporting Windows.

Consider switching from https://github.com/ludbb/secp256k1-py to https://github.com/ofek/coincurve as the former is no longer maintained.

New features include:

Cleaner API
Uses newest version of libsecp256k1
Support for Windows
Linux, macOS, and Windows all have binary packages for both 64 and 32-bit architectures
Linux & macOS use GMP for faster computation
Endomorphism optimization is enabled
A global context is used by default, drastically increasing performance
Fixed ECDH
A fix to remove CFFI warnings
Implements a fix for https://bugs.python.org/issue28150 to support Python 3.6+ on macOS
