If you haven't used IPython in a while, you might be surprised to find that it can use a web browser as an IDE. They have separated out the frontends of their interfaces (console, qtconsole, and notebook) from their backend (called a kernel). We've written a kernel that allows our Calico system to use any of our languages (including IronPython) through their frontends.
(This doesn't use the IPython Python codebase... we have written our own interface in C#, which might be generally useful for IronPython.) You can get a feel for how this works is by checking out some of our notebooks: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/bitbucket.org/ipre/calico/raw/master/notebooks/SiteMap.ipynb We don't have the nice pipeline provided by numpy and matplotlib, but we are developing our own set of tools; see for example: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/bitbucket.org/ipre/calico/raw/master/notebooks/Python/Travelling%20Salesperson.ipynb and easily getting camera images: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/bitbucket.org/ipre/calico/raw/master/notebooks/Python/CameraWidget.ipynb We have full support for IPython 2.0 (just released) including the new widgets. You can find out more information, and install directions here: http://calicoproject.org/ICalico If anyone has suggestions or ideas, please let us know! -Doug
