You could try Python for .NET. This is a version of cPython with support for .NET built in. You may have to amend the code that Visual Studio produces to work with Python for .NET rather than for IronPython (necessary changes may be restricted to the import syntax). SciPy makes extensive use of C extensions which aren't currently supoorted by IronPython. There has been some preliminary work done dy Seo Sanghyeon on a 'reflector' that uses ctypes to allow IronPython to access cPython C extensions. My understanding is that it works (at least partially) but that the exceptions it returns are (currently) confusing. See http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/842a8011a1a2a26c/9d7e157124943e9f and also search the IronPython mailing lists. Alternatively you could use interprocess communication between cPython and IronPython ;-) All the best, Fuzzyman http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/index.shtml > > Thomas Philips -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
