[IronPython] Code Coverage

[Martin Maly]

The debugger support works really well with IronPython. There are some limitations, but the basic experience is truly pleasant.

As for profilers, code coverage, the limitations likely to make experience less pleasant are our function name mangling and use of lightweight code generation which both will affect the code coverage and profiling tools experience.

Profilers, Debugger and Coverage tools for .NET use the
.NET Profiling API.

Has anyone tried these with IronPython?
