Hi, I was trying to embed IPython into an IronPython application, or even to call it from the shell, but ran into a few issues. Google is not very helpful:
The IPython FAQ gives this, updated in 2009: http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/FAQ#head-5c9e93fe368aa40bdbb72214bfe164b617bbb21a but: http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/Developer_Zone Here it says that iPython needs to run on IronPython. A little snippet trying to summon an embedded shell from the IronPython shell: IronPython 2.7 Beta 1 (2.7.0.10) on .NET 4.0.30319.1 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> ^V File "<stdin>", line 1 ▬ ^ SyntaxError: unexpected token '▬' >>> import IPython >>> embedshell = IPython.Shell.IPShellEmbed(argv=["-colors", "NoColor"]) <string>:1: DeprecationWarning: object.__new__() takes no parameters WARNING: Could not import 'ipy_system_conf' WARNING: Readline services not available on this platform. >>> embedshell() ERROR: Internal Python error in the inspect module.

Anyone gotten further? I am still a bit stumped about exactly what is involved in making it work. Alternatively, are there any easier ways of embedding a python-like shell in an IronPython application?
