IronPython
IronPython is [http://hugunin.net/index.html JimHugunin's] implementation of Python on the .NET CLR.

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 [http://boo.codehaus.org/Gotchas+for+Python+Users Gotchas for Python Users] for specific comparisons between boo and CPython.
[http://www.prothon.org/ Prothon] - now defunct
Accessing .NET from CPython
[http://www.zope.org/Members/Brian/PythonNet/index_html Python for .NET] is the reverse of IronPython, it lets you access .NET assemblies from CPython.
