Huh. I hadn't seen that. It's a little disappointing, but, I guess, not especially surprising. I've never used IronPython, but I was always happy to know it existed, so that if I were ever stuck with a .NET project, I wouldn't have to re-learn, or use, C#.
Still, if IronPython could solve my problem, RIGHT NOW, I don't think I'd go on walkabout with MatLab. I agree, BTW, that it seems a bit silly for a security team to shore up an Access db with arbitrary security policies. Seems like constructing a moat and wall to keep strangers away from your mobile home...
