We’re not sure that you’ll agree with all of our answers, so pick it up and let us know what you think“.
IronPython doesnt work with mono
i suggest to use a different language
http://boo.codehaus.org or you can use CPython 2.4 wich is better at least….
> IronPython doesnt work with mono
Not quite true.
Recent IronPython 0.9.5 did work with some tweaking.

As Mono is adding .NET 2.0 support it should get better with every new Mono release.

As IronPython 1.0 is targeting Python 2.4 with full compatibility at language level and maybe for some of the standard library I don’t understand your problem.
IP is not a 100% substitute for (C)Python. It allows you to write .NET applications with my favourite programming language. So for non-.NET programs Python is obviously a better choice.
Comparing Python’s 15 years of evolution to the two years of IPs development IronPython should deserve some excellent credits.
Boo is a language having probably some potential with all the features/syntax heavyly borrowed from Python. The main differences to Python are that it’s statically typed and .NET only.
Mono releases usually work with the version of IronPyhon at the time of that release, for example Mono 1.1.12 works with the version of IronPython at the time 1.1.12 was released (in this case it was 0.9.6)
See the mono 1.1.12 release notes http://go-mono.com/archive/1.1.12/
Isn’t that a rather myopic reason not to use it? I could care less about Mono.
How does it fit their .Net strategy exactly? For instance, will it ever be integrated in VS.Net like Vb.Net and C#? Or do they want to make it the new “glue” scripting language, like vbscript?

Yes.

Quote: Earlier this week, we released the December 2005 CTP version of the Visual Studio SDK. (snip) IronPython Integration: I’m personally very excited about this. We’ve included the beginnings of a project system, console window, and language service supporting IronPython. It’s not by any means completed yet, but you do get python language colorization and some debugging support.
