[socal-piggies] Mono and Python for .NET on Linux

[tangle1 at mindspring.com]

Thanks for your reply.

At the vfx studio where I work we have c#/.NET software integrated into Python scripts via Python for .NET package.
If we migrate to Linux, we need to decide whether we can port this software and rebuild (equivalent) dlls for 
Mono/Python/Linux. 

Python for .NET is not the same as IronPython.

Thanks again ...
