Re: [Ironpython-users] pyc port to IKVM.Reflection

Is there interest in moving to IKVM for more of the internal stuff? Mono seems to have had quite a bit of success. Sent from my Windows Phone From: Dino Viehland Sent: 7/6/2012 7:34 PM To: Jeff Hardy Cc: Slide; ironpython-users@python.org Subject: RE: [Ironpython-users] pyc port to IKVM.Reflection

Re: [Ironpython-users] pyc port to IKVM.Reflection

The use case for __clrtype__ is that sometimes a .NET class expects a real type - either because there need to be attributes placed on it, or it needs a normal constructor which doesn't take a PythonType object, or for some other oddity of .NET... At the same time __clrtype__ is exposing the f

Re: [Ironpython-users] WP7 & Silverlight Support in IronPython

To reiterate Jeff's last point, if you'd really like to see something continue to be supported, volunteering to help support it is the best way to ensure that. ~Jimmy On Jul 6, 2012, at 1:41 PM, Jeff Hardy wrote: > On Fri, Jul 6, 2012 at 10:27 AM, Vernon Cole wrote: >> I am really sorry to he

I am really sorry to hear about this happening. The combination of IronPython and Silver(Moon)light was going to be (I thought) my ticket to writing Python code rather than Javascript for browser based code. So: My question for the group -- is Jython a viable alternative? Do we think that SL5 wil

Re: [Ironpython-users] WP7 & Silverlight Support in IronPython

Silverlight may be dead in Redmond, but Microsoft's customers were somewhat blind-sided by that recent strategy change - Build was only 8 months ago. For many customers, they don't really have a choice but to keep using SL. They bought into what was being pitched to them for years - the ability

Re: [Ironpython-users] pyc port to IKVM.Reflection

To be honest, some of the stuff in pyc would be a little easier in C# (which is strange I know), so creating IronPython.Compiler (or something similar) would be pretty nice for upkeep reasons. I would recommend we stick with the nomenclature that exists and have something like ipyc.exe for the exec

Re: [Ironpython-users] pyc port to IKVM.Reflection

NAL as well, but I'm pretty sure Mono includes it in their repo, so we should be OK. - Jeff On Fri, Jul 6, 2012 at 7:35 AM, Slide wrote: > As a quick follow-up, here is the license for IKVM, I think we can > safely include it and distribute it, but IANAL > > Copyright (C) 2002-2012 Jeroen Frijte

Apparently I should think out loud on the issue tracker more often :) I haven't looked, but I'm glad to hear it was easy. I'm going to think out loud for a bit, but I promise it's related :). One limitation with pyc.py is that it doesn't generate assemblies that can be consumed from other .NET lan

[Ironpython-users] pyc port to IKVM.Reflection

I ported the pyc.py script to use IKVM.Reflection instead of System.Reflection.Emit. It turns out some of the things (win32icon) are MUCH easier to do with IKVM.Reflection. I attached the ported version to [1] if people would like to give it a try. Let me know if you see any issues and if not, I'll
