Installing IronPython

To install IronPython, you need to have a current Common Language Runtime (CLR) implementation installed on your machine. Both the latest version of Mono (see http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page), and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, work fine with IronPython. To download IronPython, visit http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/ironpython (or http://ironpython.com, which will eventually become IronPython’s main site, but is still out of date at the time of this writing) and follow download instructions on that page. The latest version at the time of this writing is 1.0. The same site also provides up-to-date installation instructions. I cannot provide such instructions in this book because they are still in flux at the time of this writing.
