Well, you don't need a .NET implementation of Python (which is what IronPython is) to use Python with ADSI. Python already has COM support. If one was interested in Python running on the CLR, then that would be the thing to check out, but I'm guessing the guy just wants to write some ADSI scripts, so the normal resources are appropriate (scripting center, AD 3rd edition, AD cookbook 2nd edition, etc.).

If he was actually interested in programming LDAP in .NET, I'd also recommend my book (www.directoryprogramming,net), but his scripting background suggests that he isn't going there (to me). There is no mention of Python (or any language other than VB.NET, C++ or C# for that matter) in it. :)

I wonder whether ironpython http://www.ironpython.com/ is worth looking into in that case. I am no programmer but I have a hunch it might be to your liking.
