So I've been reading the Iron Python docs plus installed and played with it a little bit . . . it doesn't look like Iron Python does quite what I need.

If I have a Python script . . . and I want to access a C# assembly . . . it looks like I am Golden. (I have yet to actually get it to work, but it looks like the pieces are there.)

However, if I want to create a Python .NET assembly so I can call an existing Python class set from C# . . . it looks to me like that direction doesn't exist.

The other thing that I see here, is that even if I adopt the "Python on top" philosophy . . . since I cannot create an assembly . . . I cannot create an executable file and I think also that things like Py2EXE and PyInstaller won't work either.

That is . . . to run the resulting scripts, I have to install Iron Python on every target system. (Currently we wrap our application using PyInstaller and so the customer does not have to have Python installed to run it.)

Lastly, I'm wondering is any of this is runnable under Unix Mono . . . I'm guessing the answer is "no".

Comments welcomed.

If I have misunderstood anything here . . . please point me at docs so I can do more reading.

Frank
