First off, sorry for taking so long to get back to you. The issue here is that IronPython does not (currently) generate assemblies that can be consumed from other .NET languages directly. I'm working on fixing that, but it's a difficult problem and I wouldn't expect it until 2.7.4, sometime in the middle of next year. In the meantime, one option is to manually build a shim library that hosts IronPython and calls the Python code. It's a bit tedious to do for every activity, but if you're writing a tool anyway there may be ways to automate generating them. I wish I had a better story for you right now, but it's going to be a little while longer before it's supported directly. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Ironpython-users mailing list Ironpython-users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-users
