In my first post about IronPython, I documented how installing IronPython Studio was painful (Needed Visual Studio shell, which in itself was confusing). When I started with IronPython I did not know about any other IDE, hence I went ahead with IronPython Studio. But later I came to know about SharpDevelop.
My initial problem with SharpDevelop was that it needed .NET 3.5 SP1 at the minimum. I had just gone through the painful exercise of downloading and installing the prerequisites for IronPython Studio. So I was in no mood of downloading another big chunk before I can start my IronPython Development. But once I got past my initial development cycle, I wanted to give Sharp Develop a try.
After using both the ID interchangeably, I finally settled on SharpDevelop as my choice for IronPython Development
