The Windows Python 2.4 distributed by the PSF will be built with VC 7.1 (aka
VC.NET 2003), assuming things go as planned.  When Martin said:

he should perhaps have said "micro" releases, under the usual

    major.minor.micro

release-numbering scheme.  In the Python world, a boost in the minor
(second) number is more what other projects consider to be a major release.
IOW, the Python numbering scheme is more like

    new_language.major.bugfix
