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.
