 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]_
