Why is vim built against python 2.7

I am trying to use vim 7.3 with python 2.6 but it keeps complaining
that python 2.7 is not available. I found this site showing gvim72
builds with different builds for seperate python versions.

Why does vim build against a specific file type? And if it does how
can I get gvim73 to work with python 2.6 on Windows xp?
