Ironpython development is going full steam towards version 1 (right now
is in beta 8), and it's close to completion (see the codeplex link
above).
It is a faithful implementation of the python language for the .NET
framework.

Regarding IDEs for Ironpython, I know they are developing a Visual
Studio integration (I've not tried it though) and I don't know what's
its current state.
I'm sure that sooner or later, someone will write a binding for the
free SharpDevelop ide.
