IronPython
IronPython is an open source implementation of Python for the .NET CLR and Mono, originally created by Jim Hugunin.
The project has a workspace where you can get news and download the latest version:
- Stable Version is 2.6.2 (targeting Python 2.6)
- Developers Version is 2.7 Beta 1 (targeting Python 2.7)
IronPython uses the Dynamic Language Runtime, a framework for writing dynamic languages for .NET which originated in IronPython 1. It also runs on Silverlight, a .NET browser plugin that runs on Windows and the Mac (and a Mono port called Moonlight runs on Linux). This means that IronPython can be used for client-side scripting in the browser.
IronPython is a Python compiler. It compiles Python code to in memory bytecode before execution (which can be saved to disk, making binary only distributions possible).
Performance is comparable to CPython - much faster for some things (where it can take advantage of the JIT compiler in the underlying platform), but slower for other things (particularly the built in container types where a lot of work has been done on optimising the CPython types).

- Silverlight!

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.
Accessing .NET from CPython
Python for .NET is the reverse of IronPython, it lets you access .NET assemblies from CPython.
