I'm not using IronPython for any serious development. For interactive session, I use Console 2 [0] (which rocks). Integrating it with DevStudio requires Visual Studio SDK (v 4) [1] and that requires Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 [2] therefore for now I am using Notepad++ [3] for classes and larger projects. (it supports syntax coloring). Here [4] is a post which looks useful.

K% = ( (b+1) * p - 1) / b
