IronPython supports Python 2.7. [#iron_ver]_

PythonNet
---------

`Python for .NET <http://pythonnet.github.io/>`_ is a package which
provides near seamless integration of a natively installed Python
installation with the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR). This is the
inverse approach to that taken by IronPython (see above), to which it
is more complementary than competing with.

In conjunction with Mono, PythonNet enables native Python
installations on non-Windows operating systems, such as OS X and
Linux, to operate within the .NET framework. It can be run in
addition to IronPython without conflict.

PythonNet supports from Python 2.3 up to Python 2.7. [#pythonnet_ver]_
