Sure you can. I wrote a compiler for Python in 1998 or 1999 (forget which) that compiled Python down to MSFT's CLI. Mark Hammond and I worked on that together, altho it was mostly me getting the framework set up, and Mark running to the goal with it. I believe the Python.Net (and Perl.Net) stuff is available from MSFT and/or ActiveState now. Have no doubt tho... it compiled any Python code to the CLI. The obvious problem was dealing with Python extension modules. Not much could be done about that. But pure Python? Or the standard Python library modules? You bet. [ for the Python stuff, we compiled direct to the CLI; I think the Perl stuff took the approach of writing C# code, then compiling that ] Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
