Hosting features are all done via the DLR, so that's a separate team. As for "ability to interact with the rest of the .Net framework", can you be more specific about what you're looking for in that space? What *isn't* IPy doing that you want it to?

It's pretty amazing on what combination of C# and IronPython hosting API can do - we use it from running business rules table, sending python command in a game project and powering our CMS. In our next business project, we are planning to expose a bunch of IronPython scripts to the administrator role. Yeah, it's a poor man's DSL, but it's already there and you dont' have to spend time writing all the crufts required to write a DSL. So I'd much prefer a much stronger features in the hosting and ability to interact with the rest of the .Net framework than supporting a new version of the Python language. Dody G.

There's fewer things to hold you back at the 2 level. If IronPython 3 were out right now, I'd use it. If CPython 3 were out right now, I wouldn't. -Dan _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com -- nomadlife.org<http://nomadlife.org>
