Besides Jeff Hardy's blog post on Django + IronPython mentioned by Tony Mayer, it would also be useful to read Jeff two other posts in the same series on his fight against IronPython, easy_install and zlib. First Solution to the zlib problem , which discusses the lack of zlib for IronPython; hence there is no easyinstall. Jeff reimplemented zlib based on ComponentAce zlib.net. Finally, at easy_install on IronPython, Part Deux Jeff discusses some of the final settings that are needed before easy_install can be used with IronPython.

Answer 4

I do not think Django is still working on IronPython, but I am not saying that this is not possible.

Django-ironpython Project is the work that is currently being done to run Django on IronPython. The project reported 65.7% of the passed test with sqlite on May 2, 2010.
