You are combining two products: VisualPython is, as you state, a fancy
IDE for Python. Python .NET is a Python IL compiler but it is far from
complete and not sold by ActiveState.

Mark Hammond didn't work on VisualPython at all. Why don't you ask him
if he plans on working on Python .NET? Also, the code is available for
you to work on, so go nuts!
