are we talking about two different things here, perhaps ?

the "Python for .Net" tool I'm talking about is an integration tool that
lets you use CPython and CPython extensions together with CLR stuff,
while IronPython is a pure-CLR implementation of Python.

there was also, once upon a time, an experimental Python compiler for
the .Net platform:

but that project was abandoned years ago.
