Comment #16 on issue 154 by pekka.klarck: IronPython compatibility
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=154
I did some work to get Robot to run on IronPython 2.6.1 [1] based on the
discussion on robotframework-users and committed the changes in revision
4281. After these changes, and before RF 2.5.5 with these fixes is
released, the needed steps to run Robot on IronPython are:
1) Install IronPython 2.6.1 from [1] (or newer if available).
2) Install elementtree module from [2]. Tested only with the 1.2.7 preview
release, which should have better IronPython support than 1.2.6.
3) Checkout Robot Framework source code from [3] and go to the created
directory from the command line.
4) Run tests like `ipy src\robot\runner.py tests.txt`.
5) Optionally you can install Robot like `ipy setup.py install`. Compiling
source code into pyc files as part of the installation seems to fail for
weird ValueError, but that doesn't affect the installation otherwise.
6) Optionally create `ipybot.bat` start-up script like Wolfram suggested in
comment 9.
