The "namespace" question from Christian has to do with a "python28.dll" which would be built using VS2010, that this would never clash with a CPython version built the same way.

However, it would clash with someone else who did the same thing, e.g. Fred Bloggs releases BloggPython 2.8 and calls his dll python28.dll.

So it would be a bit rude to claim a bare pythonxy.dll name for something that's not an official PSF version.
