I've looked at converting a couple of apps to IronPython. My Python apps tend to be media hacking, such as photos, MP3s, etc. Almost everything I try, I find that there is either a Standard library module written in C, or a 3rd party module, that causes problems. I've even had problems using 3rd party modules written in pure Python, that used Standard library modules, that don't exist.

I'd love to use IronPython, if only I could.

For most of what you want to do, there are probably .NET class libraries that do the same or a similar thing. Just converting normal Python applications will be difficult, and there is probably little point.

Windows Forms can be accessed from CPython with the 'Python.NET' extension:

However Python.NET can (used to) only work with .NET 1. (possibly 1.1 - but whatever.)

It's still a good option though. Last time I looked, support for .NET 2 was on the way. When it arrives I will have a play.

At Resolver a lot of the stuff we use is new in .NET 2. This isn't a deliberate choice, it just seems like a lot of good stuff arrived in version 2...
