Some quick Googling finds a project devoted to CPython Extensions for IronPython. It appears there's a significant amount of voodoo involved, and the IronPython/CPython interface is not remotely transparent. Maybe there's something more recent? but doesn't look painless to me...

For your immediate question, I'm developing for calibre and running trunk code using Python 2.5.2, but I don't run the GUI so YMMV.
