Because IronPython wasn't written targeting CF from the start, I suspect that 
there are lots of little cases where we used APIs that aren't supported.  
However, because IronPython tries to only use core APIs I suspect that this 
would be a modest amount of work.

The one exception to that is that CF doesn't support Reflection.Emit for 
dynamic code generation.  This feature is used quite heavily in IronPython's 
implementation and would take some serious effort to work around.  I've talked 
with the CF team about this and we're looking at options, but it's not a top 
priority right now.

Thanks - Jim

Subject: [IronPython] Iron Python on .NET Compact Framework

I know this has been asked before, but upon searching the archives, I
didn't see a response. What's the potential for running IP on .NET
Compact Framework? What's missing? How much work would it take to make
this possible?
