Which is better IronPython or python.net native?

IronPython is “.NET-native” — so it will be preferable if you want to fully integrate your Python code with .NET all the way; Python.NET works with Classic Python, so it lets you keep your Python code’s “arm’s length” away from .NET proper.

What’s the difference between iron Python and Java?

Iron Python targets Microsoft, Jython targets Java, Python targets itself. Each environment naturally has its own complier/library all you are doing is trading environments by choosing one over the other. Each has its positives and negatives but naturally you would want to give Python a try before touching other environments as a beginners rule.
