That's good to know (btw, how do you tell distutils which VC version to use ? or does it find out by itself using the Python time machine ;-).

I simply run the right .bat file that sets all the needed variables before running the setup.py ;-)

If someone volunteers to maintain such a branch, I suppose there's nothing preventing it :-)

As I guessed :-) I think that the next release of scons can open new perspectives... (see previous post of Greg Spencer)

Perhaps we should look at the offer in a different light...

What advantage would the move from VC6 to VC7 give Python users ?

I don't know if there are advantages on moving... but I'm concerned on adding... a VC7 plus a VC6 release...
