If you want to *buy* VS 2003, you could still purchase a 1-year MSDN Pro Subscription. The price difference isn't *that* big compared to a single-user license of VS, and it automatically includes past VS versions (everything from VC++ 6.0 and upwards, IIRC). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
