Has anyone tried ASP.NET MVC using IronPython? Having done a lot of Python development recently, it would be nice to continue with the language as I go into a potential ASP.NET MVC project.
I'm especially interested in exploiting the dynamic aspects of Python with .NET features such as LINQ and want to know if this will be possible. The other route that may be viable for certain dynamic programming would be C# 4.0 with its dynamic keyword.
Thoughts, experiences?

Microsoft abandoned IronPython (and its sister project IronRuby) in late 2010, after which Hugunin left to work at Google. The project is currently maintained by a group of volunteers at GitHub.
IronPython works as an extension to the . NET Framework, but it can also be used by . NET projects to take advantage of Python's scripting power. Other than that, since IronPython is a real implementation of Python itself, there's no need to learn a new language or extra features if you already know Python.
The end result is that ASP.NET can help you write web applications faster and with less code—and it can do this even better once we add Python to the mix! The IronPython team has released a project enabling the use of IronPython within ASP.NET.
IronPython is a Python compiler. It compiles Python code to in memory bytecode before execution (which can be saved to disk, making binary only distributions possible).
Yes, there is an MVC example from the DLR team.
