This project has adopted the code of conduct defined by the Contributor Covenant to clarify expected behavior in our community. For more information see the .NET Foundation Code of Conduct.
Builds of IronPython 3 are not yet provided.

Since the main development is on Windows, Mono bugs may inadvertantly be introduced
- please report them!
IronPython 3 targets .NET Framework 4.6, .NET Core 2.1/3.1 and .NET 5.0. The support for .NET Core and .NET 5 will follow the lifecycle defined on .NET Core and .NET 5 Support Policy.
