[IronPython] Try Python updated for IronPython 2.6 & Silverlight 4 (sort of)

[Michael Foord]

Hello all,

I've updated Try Python to use IronPython 2.6.1 and it now works with 
Silverlight 4 - mostly.

http://www.trypython.org/

It works with Firefox and IE on Windows and Safari on Mac OS X, but 
throws a weird error (for me at least) with Firefox on Mac OS X.

SystemError: [InvalidOperation_IComparerFailed]
Arguments:
Debugging resource strings are unavailable. Often the key and arguments 
provide sufficient information to diagnose the problem. See 
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=106663&Version=4.0.50401.0&File=mscorlib.dll&Key=InvalidOperation_IComparerFailed

The line that apparently causes the error is in types.py: NoneType = 
type(None)

Interestingly I see a very similar error at http://ironpython.net/try/
