Hello Python Community,
We are happy to announce a minor update to the IronPython Tools for
Visual Studio. IronPython Tools for Visual Studio (IPyTools) is a set
of extensions available for Visual Studio 2010 which supports
development of IronPython applications. This release is our 3^rd
Community Technical Preview (CTP) and builds upon the previous two
releases. The release is a minor update which includes bug fixes and
a number of small features. You can download the latest release at
http://www.ironpython.net/ironpython/tools/
Can the download page please have a download link on it instead of (or
as well as) serving the download through a refresh:
http://ironpython.net/tools/download/
Additionally, if possible, can the downloaded file have a version number
in the filename please. :-)
Thanks
Michael Foord
There is also one major change in that the project system is no longer
based upon the files which live on disk. Instead we now follow the
normal VS project model. This means files must be explicitly added to
the project and files which you don't want in the project won't
automatically show up. We made this change based upon feedback from
people using the tool and think it will make it more familiar for
normal Visual Studio users. Despite this change there is still
support for an "implicit" project when working without a project.
Like the previous release this release includes support for
Intellisense including member completion, signature help, find all
references, and goto definition. It enables quick browsing of your
code using the object browser and the editor navigation bar. It has
an interactive (REPL) window that enables the development of
applications in an interactive way. IPyTools supports lightweight
development without a project as well as working with project files in
the tradition of Visual Studio . Opening a .py file causes IronPython
Tools to model the code in the containing directory as an implicit
project for Intellisense features. There are project templates for
console, WPF, WinForms, and Silverlight applications. WPF
applications support drag-and-drop UI development. Debugging of
Python applications works just like you debug other languages in
Visual Studio.
We are still working on our final licensing terms for IronPython
Tools, and as such this release is licensed under a temporary limited
use license. While we weren't able to finalize this for this release
we expect to have this finalized for the next release.
The full list of changes includes a number of bug fixes:
Interactive window now respects VS color settings
Fixed default settings for insert tabs, enter
completing options, list of characters to complete to
Fixed auto-indent inserting extra tabs on a blank line
Enables usage of VS common settings for smart
indentation and tabs and respects those options.
Escape in REPL cancels both the intellisense session
and the current input
REPL: When a completion item is focused but not
selective enter should not complete it
REPL: We should respect the various intellisense
completion options
REPL: We should be using IronPython's auto intending
Fix repl not respecting smart up/down on startup if the window was set
to be open
REPL: Don't allow history if the current command is still running --
instead navigate the buffer
REPL: Enable syntax highlighting even if a command throws an exception
REPL: Remove trailing new lines from REPL history so we go back to
the last line of input
REPL: When pasting ensure there's a new line
REPL: Auto indent should delete selected lines when pressing enter
There are also a few new features:
New Fill Comment Paragraph feature
Implemented auto-dedent so it will backspace # of tabs
Support for disabling intellisense via normal VS mechanism
Support for hiding "advanced" members in intellisense (currently
defined as __abc__ members)
There is one major change:
Removes directory based projects in favor of normal VS style projects
