Yes, if VC6 cannot be purchased then it would be too backwards-looking for Python 2.4 to require it from extension-authors. Presumably, for a Python release coming out in 2004, the fact that you cannot build extensions if the only Windows version you run is win98 is acceptable (sigh).

I'm on Win98SE, and I built extensions with MinGW for Python 2.4, so this should not be an issue. Please see my previous posts.
