I have never looked at IronPython myself, i just use plan standard Python. Although the basic Python language doessupport GUI's through the use of Tkinter, there are additionally packages you can get such as wxPthon (my favorite) and QT there are no doubt others too. Also there are other packages such as PyGame avaliable to use..i imagine though that these will work fine with IronPython also. I have heard there beening a few problems when using IronPython due to things such as the .NET framework it uses doesn't allow you to call __del__ methods.

Hope this helps you in some way,

Chris
