There are many reasons to buy VC7. I assume the typical reasons are
- if you never had a Microsoft compiler, and buy one now, it will
  be 7.x (you may not even get VC6 anymore)
- the C++ compiler has much improved
- debugging was improved
- it includes a more recent Windows SDK, exposing functions available
  on W2k+
- it supports C# and .NET development

Of those reasons, few are relevant for Python, except that some people
are now using VC7 exclusively for other reasons, and want a VC7-built
python to better integrate their extensions.

Regards,
Martin
