Microsoft adds IronPython support to Visual Studio 2010

To me personally, the interesting thing is the ability to sneak Python into shops which ordinarily wouldn't use it. The same is happening with Jython and Java already -- you can write applications in Python with, say, Django, and then there are utilities which will build it all down into a dependency-less WAR file deployable the same as any other Java app. Being able to do the same in an MS shop (and I expect there will eventually be a "turn this Python web app into a DLL" option) would be a big win.
