In the above you mention Python, are you aware that the current version
of pgloader uses Lisp?

Build instructions for the new pgloader are below. FYI they do not cover
Windows and I do not have a clue on how to create Windows Lisp build
environment:

https://github.com/dimitri/pgloader/blob/master/INSTALL.md

So what version of pgloader are you looking to use?

What sort of data clean up do you want to do?

If you are set on using Python I would start at looking at:

http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/io.html

For Windows probably the best way to deal with installing a Python data
analysis stack is to use Anaconda:

https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/

which includes Pandas as one of its automatically installed packages:
