sounds great!
Thanks, stax

The current beta 1 release of IronPython always pops up a console. One of our
pre-1.0 workitems is to add a way to launch IronPython applications without
popping up a console, but we don't have that yet. The idea is that anyone
who's willing to work with a 1st beta should be willing to deal with a console
popping up - but we'll fix this pretty soon.
I agree that the start-up time is annoying. We have some optimization work
left to do here. If you run a static compiler on your Python code you can
bring the start-up time from about 2 seconds to well under 1 second for simple
programs today. Unfortunately, right now the only ways to use it are via the
alpha preview VSIP integration or by writing your own front-end that uses
IronPython.Hosting.PythonCompiler directly (see example at end of this message)
Code completion today only works from the interactive console. Tab will do an
excellent job in that environment of providing you with options. Doing code
completion for a dynamic language in a static IDE is challenging and we're
unsure what our timeframe is for support there.
Thanks - Jim
FYI - Here's the simple program I used to compile a test hello world program to
confirm that this does offer a major reduction in start-up time. Feel free to
experiment with this for yourself.
import sys
sys.LoadAssemblyByName('IronPython')
from IronPython.Hosting import PythonCompiler
from System.Collections.Generic import *
sources = List[str]()
sources.Add('hello.py')
ipc = PythonCompiler(sources, 'hello.exe')
ipc.MainFile = 'hello.py'
ipc.Compile()
