As it happens there is thread going on *right now* on the Python-dev mailing list on what it takes to make CPython compilable with VS 2005. The same techniques would have to be applied to the PythonCE project which is essentially just a patched version of vanilla CPython. Worth browsing the Python-dev mailing archives for this month...
