IronPython is about bringing together two worlds. The key value in IronPython is that it is both a true implementation of Python and is seamlessly integrated with the .NET platform. Most features were easy and natural choices where the language and the platform fit together with almost no work. However, there were challenges from the obvious cases like exception type hierarchies to the somewhat esoteric challenges concerning different methods on strings." More here.

I just perused the slashdot thread on this (complete with mindless MS bashing), and someone pointed out this very cool screencast where Jim Hugunin demoed IronPython for John Udell last week. The screencast shows IronPython working with WPF, C#, Monad (aka PowerShell), VB, and Visual Studio (as well as pure Python stuff). It's very cool stuff.
Here's the link to the screencast:
