Some tweaks to make it better: .\ipy.exe -X:ColorfulConsole -X:TabCompletion -X:AutoIndent
Or some combination thereof (I don't like AutoIndent because copy & pasting code breaks). And make sure to enable Quickedit Mode on the console (Right Click menu bar, Properties->Options->Quick Edit Mode) and fix the default buffer size. Console, command line? I've always considered these to be basically the same. If you were expecting a light weight IDE app or something - well, we don't really have one of those yet. At best we have the VS SDK integration sample which includes IDE & WinForms drag&drop support - but it is a sample and requires VS Pro. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Szurek, John Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2007 6:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [IronPython] Console I'm having a bit of an adjustment in moving from Python to IronPython and hope that somebody can help..... The console in Python is a real Windows window. When I run Python in the Python console I get an output window that is a real Windows window. All of that means that I can cut and paste freely into the code window and I can cut and paste freely from the results window. The IronPython "console" is not a console at all, it is the command line. It is clumsy and clunky and virtually unusable unless you are pre-Windows and happen to like command lines! Kind of ironic, I think --- the open source community builds a language that runs natively in a Windows environment while Microsoft builds an "improvement" on the language that runs at the command line! So, am I missing something here? Thanks --- John
