Python as a language is great. Its the GUI frameworks that always stop my advances into Python...there are about half a dozen of them and they come in various flavours of broke, ugly, incompatible, difficult or abandoned.

So I end up downloading VS C# Express...

As someone who's relatively comfortable with VS ('08-'12) and who has licenses, I'm curious to know what the limitations (if any) are to using VS for development with Python.

Do you (or does anyone) know of any quick-start guides or tutorials to working with Python (or any other non-.NET languages) in Visual Studio?

All the code on the internet is C#, so I don't really both with python on VS. I guess its possible, but for learning it strikes me as a bad starting point.

I haven't used it much with Python, but I had a great experience with Qt with C++ and I know Python bindings exist. How much have you looked into it?
