Testing under IronPython hasn't been part of our regular testing regimen, so I can't comment on the level of compatibility. > This seems to have been reported to the IronPython team here: > > http://ironpython.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=27007 > > but the response was that it is a deficiency within Django. My immediate reaction is that if IronPython doesn't behave like CPython on a basic datatyping issue, it's a deficiency in IronPython, not a problem with Django. That said, we've made minor changes to Django in order to support Jython and PyPy in (mostly changes avoiding certain CPython-specific assumptions about PYTHONPATH and garbage collection strategies), so I'm not opposed to making similar minor changes in order to accommodate IronPython. However, I'm not an IronPython expert myself, and IronPython compatibility is a pretty low personal priority. What is needed is someone who understands IronPython who is sufficiently enthused to do the work. Volunteers welcome.
