Sure, particularly since both Jython and IronPython are brainchildren of Jim Hugunin. But, apparently, we're having communication problems. Since I say that Python.NET is "a long-completed research project", what contradition do you find between that and your opinion that "it [isn't] being developed/used anymore"? Why should a research project, that was finished years ago and to which (to the best of my knowledge) no followup is planned, be "developed" any further? IOW, although I believe it's absurd to call a research project "dead" when it's completed, I know of no current nor planned development for Python.NET.
