I just downloaded the source for the 2.5 python 
library and tried to compile it under VC6.0.
The build process stops because there are three files, 
that cannot be found:

exceptions.c
md5c.c
structmodule.c

For the files exceptions.c and md5c.c it just seems to be a 
problem with the workspace file since those files exist in 
the source tree, but in different directories as expected.

For the exceptions.c, the VC workspace expects it under 
".\Python-2.5\Python" but it is in ".\Python-2.5\Modules".

For the md5c.c, there is a file called md5.c under 
".\Python-2.5\Modules", which could be the needed file.

For structmodule.c, this file cannot be found at all, 
though.

Is building 2.5 with VC 6 still supported at all?

Yes it is. 
Under \Python-2.5\PC\VC6 you can find a Visual Studio 6.0
workspace file.

It wasn't supported in Python 2.5.0. The files were still
there, but known to be non-functional.

Since that release, patches have been contributed to
reportedly make it work again. It's still not supported
anymore, i.e. it's not a release-critical bug if that build
process breaks, and reports that it broke will likely be
closed as "won't fix".

In any case, as patches have been contributed, I'm closing
this as "fixed" now - I can't actually test whether it
works, though, because I don't have VC6 anymore.
