I don't know Boa (never liked it, never used it), but you could try PythonCard: much higher level, easier and more productive. As for Ironpython seems to be moving full steam towards a stable release (current version is 0.9.2). And once it's ready, integration with other MS technologies will be assured, so you shouldn't be concerned about that. If not Ironpython, Boo (which could be considered almost an static version of Python for .NET) would be a great choice. It is already integrated to SharpDevelop and soon it will be compliant with .NET 2.0. It seems your concerns are all related to the future, and I think that no matter what implementation of python you use, the future looks brighter than ever, because the same code base will run on .NET, Pypy (which will support many platforms) and java (through Jython) . What other language gives you so many options? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
