Hi everyone I finally decided that it's time to share my work (towards a PhD in intelligent systems) with the public, and since IronPython features heavily I figured it was worth posting a short note to the list.
My main project is a Python framework called esec (http://code.google.com/p/esec/) for evolutionary computation, which is IronPython compatible but that's as far as it goes. (The purpose and use of the framework should be interesting to anyone interested in evolutionary computation, and completely irrelevant to most other people :) ) The GUI for esec (http://code.google.com/p/esecui/) is written in C# (WinForms) and uses IronPython to host and interact with esec while it is running. Configuration settings are converted into dictionaries (esec's requirement) and the listener object (Monitor) is implemented in C# and passed directly to esec. At the moment I am including a build of IronPython, rather than demanding users find it themselves, which works very nicely in terms of distribution. I decided against implementing the whole UI in Python, partially because it's pretty complex but also because some of the rendering actually requires (or will require... plans abound!) closer to native performance. Full source and a download-and-run preview distribution (ie. it has bugs) are available from the Google Code page at http://code.google.com/p/esecui/ Anyone is welcome to freely/commercially use parts of my code relating to working with IronPython. Thanks for supporting and providing IronPython - it's an incredibly useful tool. Cheers, Steve _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
