    <content type="html">During the demo, it seemed that Jim had intellisense support for his python console.   Any idea of what consolse he was using?

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I just finished watching &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdntv/episode.aspx?xml=episodes/en/20051110PythonJH/manifest.xml"&gt;IronPython: Python on the .NET Framework&lt;/a&gt; which is a demo of &lt;a href="http://www.ironpython.com/"&gt;IronPython&lt;/a&gt;. I remember when it first was announced, one or two years ago, and thought it was neat but didn&amp;#8217;t see the need when there already are &lt;a href="http://python.org/"&gt;CPython&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.jython.org/"&gt;Jython&lt;/a&gt;. But it&amp;#8217;s nice to see who well it integrates with the .NET framework as well as the Python libraries (does it support C extended Python libraries as well?). You can use the whole .NET framework and even extend it in your Python script (which shouldn&amp;#8217;t come as a surprise since it uses the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Language_Runtime"&gt;CLR&lt;/a&gt;), and you can embed Python into &amp;#8220;normal&amp;#8221; .NET applications. You can even debug using Visual Studio, set breakpoints and introspect variables (without there being any IronPython support in Visual Studio, again thanks to the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;CLR&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;blockquote&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;IronPython is currently at a pre-alpha stage suitable for experimentation but not for serious development work.&lt;/p&gt;
