I think python.NET is just the regular Python (implemented in C, called 
CPython) with some changes to make it easier to call .NET libraries.  So 
for example you could add a line like "from CLR.System.Windows.Forms 
import Form".
IronPython is a complete rewrite of Python that itself runs in .NET's 
runtime engine (CLR).  See also boo and pycs.
