IDE for ironpython on windows anno 2017 : <br>
I've developed stuff in Python in the past few years. Mostly I have used regular Python and tried Jython too but missed some important libraries. Eclipse has been my favourite IDE (version 4.3) all along with plugin PyDev (version 3.5).<br>
I now have reason to try IronPython. I tried using this combination also to develop for IronPython but windows keep popping up stating "IronPython Console has stopped working". Is my conclusion right that Eclipse is not the right tool for IronPython? BTW, my OS is Windows 7.

I had a look at this question and at the answers given there:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/755883/ide-for-ironpython-on-windows

I fear that the answers given there are outdated or will soon be outdated, because they date back to 2009. I have Visual Studio 2008 (only) and I installed the shell integrated mode redistributable as well as IronPython Studio, but it was a bit rather complicated for me to get it to work, with too many things to download and install. Eventually I tried to run a "hello world" program in the IronPython Studio but got "FileLoadException was unhandled" error. Aaarg! Maybe I made a mistake somewhere?<br>
I also came across CodePlex websites that state that they will be shut down soon. So my question is: is IronPython also about to die? Or is it going to survive? If so, what IDEs are available in 2017 for developing against IronPython - preferably an open source IDE?
