Django on IronPython, Part II

Progress! The admin module (mostly) works. I've cobbled together an SQLite module that works with the existing backend, and made quite a few workarounds. This is encouraging.

Django on IronPython

The very basics of Django will work on IronPython. Now I need to hook up a database and see how that works. There are a few minor changes required to work around some IronPython bugs, but nothing major. I'll post them later. Note that this is using NWSGI 0.3 + Cassini; I don't know if the Django webserver works. EDIT: Here is the subversion patch:
