I'm integrating an IronPython scritping engine into my C# raytracer which, so far, has been a breeze even though I'm completely new to Python. There is one particular thing, though, that I need help with. I have a C# class which defines a constructor like this: public CameraAnimation(Action<Camera, float> animation) In C#, I would ins...
Hi, I'd like to add "IDLE-like functionality" to C# WinForms application, but I don't quite have an idea how to do that and couldn't find anything useful with Google. So basically I want interactive command line interface, where user could enter some Python code and execute it (not just expressions, should be possible to define new fun...
I'm interested in learning python to have access to a more agile language for writing tests in my .NET projects. Is IronPython mature enough for these purposes yet? I'm content with writing tests in C#, but find dynamic languages like ruby and python very attractive. Would it be better to forgo IronPython while learning, and stick to t...
I would like to give IronPython and Mono a try. Specifically doing sysadmin tasks. Which often means running OS commands. In CPython I use the subprocess module for such tasks. But in IronPython (v2.0.1, Mono 2.4, Linux) there is no subprocess module. It seems there is not even an 'os' module. So I can't use os.system(). What would be th...
I am writing an Excel add-in that hosts IronPython 1.1 and I want to provide the Excel.Application COM object to the PythonEngine instance. My C# can access members of the COM object just fine. However, when my IronPython script accesses members of the COM object, I get a "System.ArgumentException: Object of type 'System.Int32' cannot b...
I'm keen to drink some modern dynamic language koolaid, so I've believed all the stuff on Michael Foord's blog and podcasts, I've bought his book (and read some of it), and I added an embedded IPy runtime to a large existing app a year or so ago (though that was for someone else and I didn't really use it myself). Now I need to do some ...
I get the following error when starting an Asp.Net site that uses an assembly that in turn makes use of the dlr and Iron Python for scripting. BC30560: 'ExtensionAttribute' is ambiguous in the namespace 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices'. The issue seems to be known and there's a workaround in the issue tracker. However it says tha...

I'm trying to import a Python module in a C# code like this: var setup = Python.CreateRuntimeSetup(null); var runtime = new ScriptRuntime(setup); var engine = Python.GetEngine(runtime); var module = engine.ImportModule("mymodule"); but I get an error saying "No module named signal", does this mean that ...
Except for CPython, which other Python implementations are currently usable for production systems? The questions What are the pros and cons of the various Python implementations? I have been trying to wrap my head around the PyPy project. So, fast-foward 5-10 years in the future what will PyPy have to offer over CPython, Jython, and...
I'm using IronPython 2.0 in a SharpDevelop 3.1 console window. I'm trying to reference and use the Redemption CDO replacement library. The standard usage for the library is to instantiate an RDOSession object, then use the methods on that object to navigate through the RDO object model. I've registered the Redemption COM dll and refer...
Possible Duplicates: BOO Vs IronPython Boo vs. IronPython Say you want to embed a scripting language into a .NET application. Boo is modelled on Python syntax, but also includes type inference, and just in general seems to be a better, more modern language to embed as a scripting language. Why, then, is there so much fuss ab...
It seems that IronPython 2.0.1 executes a script file about 3x slower than IronPython 1.x. I'm not convinced that it isn't something I'm doing so I'm wondering if others have had a similar experience. I have a 200k python script that takes 5 seconds to execute from a file on IP 1.x and nearly 18 seconds in IP 2.0.1! ...
Hi, I am writing a data comparison code in python to compare the data transformed in the SSIS packages. So, I have all the modules written that accesses the each and every task in SSIS packages. It compares fairly well except for those data that have different datatype, same values but different decimal places. I started out converting...
