In any case, the only possible change out of this discussion is that Python 2.4 would be built with VC6. I personally know a few people which have VC.NET 2003, but not VC6, because you cannot purchase the latter one, anymore. So, standardizing on .NET 2003 is a good thing: it means that .NET (2002) gets Yes, if VC6 cannot be purchased then it would be too backwards-looking for Python 2.4 to require it from extension-authors.
It may be that it's no longer possible to buy MSVC6 separately, but it is still on the MSDN professional DVD set (even 1.5.2, the 16-bit compiler).
