I did a very quick port of Bruce (http://bruce.python-hosting.com) to
IronPython the other night for my "futurepython" talk at OSDC 2006.
Bruce is built on top of pygame at the moment. I grabbed sdldotnet
(http://cs-sdl.sourceforge.net/), installed it, and started reading
the docs for it (they're in C#).

I started this at about 11pm, after the conference dinner, and did a
few hours work that night, then a couple more hours during talks the
following day. By the time I presented the talk at the end of the day,
I had most of the basic functionality (displaying text and images, an
interactive interpreter that spat out lines to the SDL screen and the
like) working, and ran the talk on top of IronPython on Mono.

I was extremely impressed. One thing that I was very happy about was
that I could just take the C# documentation and translate it almost
directly into Python code.

So all in all, I'm really quite happy.
