Unfortunately this move makes it more difficult to use Python in IDL code, since they have to code themselves the dll to communicate with new versions of Python.
It is always possible to install old Python installs but it's less straightforward.
IMHO the Python gamble they took is the cheapest and easiest way to include a matlab-like variety of advanced functions. At the price of a complexity of installation as well of coding, we are still only one or two among our group using this solution ...
