Re: [IronPython] Some patches

This is why we need to give Sanghyeon more help with his FePy project. fepy.sourceforge.net provides an avenue for us to make IronPython more useful for people who want to use it with the CPython libraries or need fixes to problems in a rapid timeframe. Imho IronPython in it's current form is get for scripting or developing .NET/Mono apps as long as you are content to use the .NET/Mono framework libraries. If you want to start utilising the wonderful CPython libraries, the things that Microsoft consider minor incompatibilities with CPython can be showstoppers. So even if Microsoft cannot accept patches from outside sources, fepy certainly will.

And to Microsoft and the Dynamic Languages team, you have created a good implementation of Python for CLI, but there is the opportunity make it even better and more powerful.

Wow, great work.  Maybe I shouldn't give up yet.
