[Python-Dev] MS VC 7 offer

[Barry Scott]

Did I miss the answer to why bother to move to VC7?

As a C project I know of very little to recommend VC7 or VC7.1.
As a C++ developer I've decided that VC7 as little more then a broken
VC6. Maybe Jesse Lipcon (who works for MS now) has managed to
make VC7.1 more standards compatible for C++ work, which would
recommend it to C++ developers.

Note that wxPython claims that it will not compile correctly with VC7
unless you add a work around for a bug in the code generator.
