Python is compiled with MSVC6, which does not produce libraries that
are compatible with MSVC5.

1. You can try to rebuild Python with MSVC5 (probably won't work
though) and then build your project (but the binary will not be
compatible with everyone's Python).
2. You could pay Microsoft some cash and get MSVC6
3. You could start developing with Cygwin Python and use GCC
