I don't myself have any idea what the issues are, not having any experience with the Enthought distribution. Maybe someone else on the list knows about this. But Visual is an open-source project, so in principle you can do whatever you want with it, though dealing with multithreaded C++ code linked to Python (and using Carbon on the Mac) can be daunting. Or maybe it will just work. Dunno. I have the vague notion that people used Visual 3 with Enthought, but I could be mistaken.
