When we discussed VC versions (back when we met in Ofxord during
PythonUK/ACCU), David Abrahams seemed adamant that VC7 and VC6
are indeed compatible -- as he has first-hand experience while I just have
horror stories from ex-coworkers I suspect he's likelier to be right.  Anyway,
I'm CC'ing him since I do suspect he has relevant input and might not
be following python-dev right now...
