We've just explored how PTVS can easily integrate Python into VS2015. Now we will look at IronPython, which integrates Python with the .NET and Mono platforms.
IronPython provides the ability to write applications that use WPF and WinForms as well as easily call the .NET code from within your Python program. Whether you want to do some rapid prototyping using IronPython as a glue language or build a full application, IronPython can be a useful addition to your developer toolbox.
IronPython is available for download at http://ironpython.net/, and should be installed before opening Visual Studio. This recipe assumes you have installed PTVS as described in the Integrating Python into Visual Studio recipe.
