That is becoming dated quickly, as Microsoft has deprecated, and is removing, that version quite rapidly from their CI services (azure/GHA), i.e. mid March, see: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/4312.
It's understandable in the sense that they don't want to support a third version in addition to vs2022 and vs2019, but the net effect is that very few (open source) projects will keep using vs2017 going forward.
Not every project using CPython is an open source project, though. And CPython probably supports more platforms than GHA or Azure do. Regards Antoine.
