IronPython 1.0 RC2 = Python for .NET

IronPython is the codename for a beta release of the Python programming language for the .NET platform. It supports an interactive interpreter with fully dynamic compilation. It is well integrated with the rest of the framework and makes all .NET libraries easily available to Python programmers, while maintaining full compatibility with the Python language.

There's currently Release Candidate 2 for IronPython 1.0 available for testing. We will have a final RTM version shortly.

Visit also the IronPython project home on CodePlex for some quick tips, feeds, release information, issue tracker, source code and information on the Shared Source License for IronPython.

There will also be some IronPython coverage at TechEd: Developers. We'll cover how IronPython relates to the .NET Scripting Languages and have a whiteboard discussion on Developing ASP.NET Web Applications with IronPython.
