Does anybody know if it's possible to open old(VS2015) Python solutions and projects in Visual Studio 2017 RC ? VS 2017 cannot load my project, just saying it's incompatible. I was looking for some Python Tools in Modify Visual Studio option but couldn't find anything about it there.

Visual Studio is a powerful Python IDE on Windows. Visual Studio provides open-source support for the Python language through the Python Development and Data Science workloads (Visual Studio 2017 and later) and the free Python Tools for Visual Studio extension (Visual Studio 2015 and earlier).
One of the coolest code editors available to programmers, Visual Studio Code, is an open-source, extensible, light-weight editor available on all platforms. It's these qualities that make Visual Studio Code from Microsoft very popular, and a great platform for Python development.
Visual Studio supports Python version 3.7. While it is possible to use Visual Studio to edit code written in other versions of Python, those versions are not officially supported and features such as IntelliSense and debugging might not work.
I found some more information here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/pythonengineering/2017/02/22/python-in-vs2017/
Seems like Python tools will be soon available! :)
So here’s what we’re doing: around the time of the Visual Studio 2017 release, we will release a separate preview version of VS 2017 that includes Python support.
Currently we are expecting Python support to be in the preview release for a few months, depending on our confidence in stability and user feedback. Once we move from preview to release, there will be an update and you’ll be able to select the Python workload in the stable release of Visual Studio.
