Is it possible to install and import scikit in IronPython? Im trying to interface between a module written in python 2.7 with scikit and an external COM object with IronPython...

Thanks

IronPython is certainly not supported by scikit-learn, and I doubt that it'll work without significant effort. The NumPy and SciPy for IronPython document describes the porting effort required for SciPy, and this has certainly not been done for scikit-learn, which too depends heavily on Cython-generated C code (unless someone did the porting effort but didn't advertise it on the scikit-learn mailing list).
