As far as I can see, you need .NET 4 / Mono 2.8 for both compiling and
running.

IronPython 2.6.2 is delivered in two versions, one for .NET 4 and the
other one for .NET 2 (but using some C# 3 language features).

The main difference seems to be in the DLR libraries used, parts of it
have been integrated into the core libraries in .NET 4, so they are not
compatible between versions.
