IronPython
IronPython
IronPython is JimHugunin's implementation of Python on the .NET CLR.
The project has a workspace where you can get news and download the latest version. An older site,
https://ironpython.com/ appears to be unmaintained. (He didn't have enough time to do it properly without funding -- so Microsoft hired him. As of January 2006, Microsoft has released a Beta version, and the expectation is betas roughly every three weeks, and a final within 10 betas.)
Early results are promising, showing great performance, even better than CPython 2.3 on the Pystone benchmark, but remember this is an early prototype, not a full implementation.
These results caused a flurry of discussion, which has since died down, pending more information from Jim.
Other Python-Like Languages for .NET/Mono
Some other Python-like languages for .NET and Mono include:
BooLanguage - Syntax is very similar to Python's, yet the language is statically compiled. It implements many features that have been suggested for Python3.0. See
Gotchas for Python Users for specific comparisons between boo and CPython.
Prothon - now defunct
Accessing .NET from CPython
Python for .NET is the reverse of IronPython, it lets you access .NET assemblies from CPython.
