Visual Python is a plugin for the Visual Studio IDE, I believe.

Python.NET was an implementation of Python directly on the CLR virtual
machine.  It never got anywhere, and never will -- the CLR is hostile
to languages like Python.

I think Python for .NET is an interoperability framework -- I presume
you can run CPython from .NET, and .NET from CPython, but it isn't
Python *in* .NET.

It would be nice if all this context were made clear on the Python for
.NET page.
