I concur. I'm sold on the concept of integrating Python and .NET, but in implementation, this is not 1.0 quality (unless no compatibility with CPython is claimed, but I'd have to question the value of IronPython w/out CPython compatibility). I've spent a lot of my free time chasing down bugs. The os exception type mismatches about drove me to brink. The regular expression problems are a deciding factor for me. I REALLY, REALLY do not want to get involved with debugging the re module, but there is a ton of code out there that needs a decent re package. Anyway, I wrote more about this on my blog here: http://baus.net/ironpython-are-the-batteries-included _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
