In case you're a Python dev, VS2013 now includes support. info at http://pytools.codeplex.com. Has a neat feature to debug CPython & C++ together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvJaKQ94lBY

That URL would have me believe that it's a third party add-on, pytools, that has support VS2013. Am I misunderstanding, or does VS2013 actually support python natively?
It's a first-party add-on. Support doesn't come in the box (as far as I know), but it is developed by Microsoft.
bskap is correct. It's developed by Microsoft as a free & open source extension to VS. You can use the VS "Shell" with PTVS to create a fully functional and free Python IDE. Support is via the forums on codeplex. The good part is that it's monitored directly by the devs on the team.
