If the language implemented by "MS Visual-Python" isn't 100%
compatible with the official, free version of Python, then life
gets less pleasant.  If you want to write "portable" python,
you had to have some sort pre-processor to sort out the
differences between MSVP and real Python.  We could end up with
library modules that are available for one language and not the
other.
