Please don't reply directly to me.

Iron Python is an implementation of Python in .NET
similarly Jython is an implementation of Python in Java.
This doesn't have anythign to do with their libraries.

Would run in IronPython, Jython or cPython.
The way that the code is marked up (adding In or >>> before each line) 
is a feature of the IDE that one uses.
Did you even try the code?
