IronPython is indeed quite a pain to work with, and for a lot of reasons beyond the age. For instance, you don't get numpy or any dependencies that themselves depend on quirks of CPython. The alternative is PythonNET, which executes python in CPython context, but provides nearly the same interoperability* with CLR assemblies. There's many devils in the details of that asterisk, and I'm frankly not knowledgeable enough to explain them; but in my experience, things work well enough that I'm satisfied with the integration provided.
