>> Hello Python Community,

>> The IronPython and Dynamic Language Runtime teams are proud to announce
>> the release of IronPython 2.0 final. IronPython 2.0 is the culmination of

>> The most notable are:
>>
>> · An MSI installer for Windows platforms which includes parts of the

>>
>> · IronPython assemblies targeting Silverlight and tools such as Chiron to
>> improve the Silverlight dynamic development experience
>>
>> · The addition of more C-based standard modules such as /cmath/ and
>> /_winreg/
>>
>> · Significant improvements in importing compatibility and features
>>
>> · Distribution of IronPython under the Microsoft Public License which has

>> · Support for precompilation of Python source files into a single dll
