<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve been in a difficult place with having two sets of tools for Visual Studio that both work with IronPython. Those are the existing IronPython Tools that shipped w/ 2.7 and the newer Python Tools for Visual Studio which are derived
from the original IronPython code base. To make things more difficult we’ve been living in a world where you could contribute back to IronPython Tools but contributions weren’t being accepted back to PTVS. That’s obviously not the best environment for encouraging
users to submit changes back and today I’m happy to announce that we’ve fixed this problem and we’re now accepting contributions back to PTVS!
