I don't follow this list very carefully so my pardons if this has been
answered already. As of the latest version of Visual Python,
ActivePython is not required for it to function, just some _Python_.
That being said, SciPy's distro of Python is not specifically tested
(just ActivePython and python.org's distro) but I wouldn't expect there
to be any problems.
