Scott Hi Scott, unfortunately, there are a few problems running existing Python code with IronPython because the glue level between Python and C library is managed in a different way. Python requires a specific C library to handle native calls, while IronPython uses PInvoke to do this. I'm now trying to implement a class library to run any mono program on Sugar, but being compatible with Python class libraries is not a priority at this time.

Sorry Chad, I don't understand what you're doing. Is it like the AOT (Ahead Of Time compiler)? If so, I know that this function works in the mono compiler. I never use it because, when you use the AOT option to compile a program, the metadata are stored the usual way, but the native code for all the functions is also included in the final binary, so the size grows. Ok, you can save the startup time the JIT compiler, but it is generally fast and called only once per each method, do I don't know how much performance improvement you get.
