IronPython Blog https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/ironpython/feed.xml Wed, 17 Apr 2019 04:06:53 GMT en-US hourly 1 IronPython and IronRuby Resources https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/ironpython/ironpython-and-ironruby-resources Sun, 16 Mar 2008 23:29:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ironpython/2008/03/16/ironpython-and-ironruby-resources/ The Dynamic Language Runtime powers IronPython and IronRuby. It contains the following features:

  • Hosting APIs - allows embedding of any DLR language as a scripting language inside of a host application
  • Extensions to LINQ ExpressionTree - allows language compilers to generate higher level constructs instead of MSIL
  • DynamicSite - call-site caching to speed up the performance of dynamic languages
  • ActionBinder - utility code to facilitate .NET interop
  • IDynamicObject - interface for dynamic objects
  • Other compiler utility code

Mailing lists

You can currently ask questions on the IronPython (link) and IronRuby (link) mailing lists. There is currently no dedicated DLR mailing list. Similarly, the sources for the DLR are bundled with the IronPython and IronRuby sources.

]]> Our talks at Teched 2007 (June 4-8th) in Orlando https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/ironpython/our-talks-at-teched-2007-june-4-8th-in-orlando Fri, 25 May 2007 19:49:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ironpython/2007/05/25/our-talks-at-teched-2007-june-4-8th-in-orlando/ We have three very exciting talks (below) at TechEd 2007 in Orlando. In addition we are dynamic languages booth that will have folks from the team that can demo/answer questions you may have. Join us at TechEd!

WEB06-TLC - Developing Data Driven Applications Using the New Dynamic Data Controls in ASP.NET
    Tuesday, June 5 4:30 PM - 5:45 PM, Blue Theater 14 
Speaker(s): Mahesh Prakriya, Qing Ye
Track(s): Web Development and Infrastructure
Level: 300
ASP.NET dynamic data controls are part of a powerful, rich new framework that lets you create data driven ASP.NET applications very easily. ASP.NET dynamic data controls do this by automatically discovering the schema at runtime, deriving behavior from the database and finally creating an ASP.NET page. Anything that can be inferred from the schema works with almost no user effort. If needed, the page can then be further customized either by using static languages such as Microsoft Visual C# or Visual Basic .NET or dynamic languages such as IronPython, Visual Basic, Jscript, etc. In this talk, we show you how to build rich, database driven Web applications from scratch, such as TaskList along with other demos.
 
 
WEB324 - Dynamic Languages on the Web
    Thursday, June 7 9:45 AM - 11:00 AM, N220 F 
Speaker(s): Mahesh Prakriya, Dmitry Robsman
Track(s): Web Development and Infrastructure
Level: 300
After attending this talk you will learn how to use dynamic languages (such as IronPython, Jscript, VBx and IronRuby) in Silverlight and ASP.net. ASP.net and Silverlight are two great example hosts of Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) and the languages listed above are implemented on DLR. We will first demo in Silverlight, then asp.net and will end with a combined demo of the two!
 
DEV315 - "IronPython" and Dynamic Languages on .NET
    Friday, June 8 10:45 AM - 12:00 PM, S210 B 
Speaker(s): Mahesh Prakriya
Track(s): Developer Tools and Technologies
Level: 300
"IronPython" is the codename for a new implementation of the Python programming language on the .NET Framework. IronPython is fast—in fact, up to 1.8 times faster than Python-2.4 on the standard pystone benchmark. It supports an interactive interpreter with fully dynamic compilation as well as static compilation to produce pre-compiled executables. It's well integrated with the rest of the framework and makes all .NET libraries easily available to Python programmers. This session shows how IronPython brings the power of .NET to Python and the power of Python to .NET. At OSCON 2004, the first public release of IronPython was announced. This session demonstrates the latest IronPython version in a range of situations from using GUI frameworks to driving Microsoft Office applications to working with a variety of external libraries. We also discuss other scripting languages on .NET.
 
]]> Work-around for issue caused by Visual Studio 2005 SP1 upgrade https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/ironpython/work-around-for-issue-caused-by-visual-studio-2005-sp1-upgrade Wed, 03 Jan 2007 20:08:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ironpython/2007/01/03/work-around-for-issue-caused-by-visual-studio-2005-sp1-upgrade/ We've discovered one issue caused by VS SP1 installation recently. After having upgraded to SP1, IronPython disappeared from language dropdown when trying to create a new web project.

The issue is due to a registry key for IronPython under NewProjectTemplate was removed by VS SP setup. Adding it back fixes the problem. To do that, the easiest way is to uninstall and then reinstall "IronPython for ASP.NET CTP".

This happens to Visual Web Developer SP1 as well. Similar work-around applies.

Note, you don't have to do anything if your IronPython web project still shows up after upgrading.

]]> Upcoming IronPython Talks https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/ironpython/upcoming-ironpython-talks Thu, 19 Oct 2006 17:54:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ironpython/2006/10/19/upcoming-ironpython-talks/ There are few upcoming talks that I’d like to announce:

First, at the ASP.Net Connections in Vegas, David Ebbo is giving a talk that'll be worth attending and will cover how to use IronPython in ASP.Net applications.

AMS301: Developing ASP.NET Web Applications with IronPython
David Ebbo
IronPython is a new fast implementation of the Python programming language running on the .NET Framework. While it stays true to the beauty and simplicity of the Python language, IronPython offers Python programmers seamless access to the richness and power of .NET libraries and applications in a fully dynamic environment as well as static compilation to produce pre-compiled assemblies. This session focuses on utilizing the IronPython dynamic language to quickly build full-featured ASP.NET Web applications. You will learn how to use IronPython to add rich scripting support to existing .NET applications and extend new applications with custom Python code. We will also demonstrate how IronPython can be used to combine a wide variety of .NET components and services. This talk is targeted at Python programmers looking to take advantage of the power of ASP.NET and at ASP.NET programmers looking to learn how Python can make building Web applications easier.

Overall agenda is at: https://www.devconnections.com/shows/aspfall2006/default.asp?c=1&s=82 

Second, I’ll be giving two talks at Teched Europe in Barcelona.

]]> IronPython Sample: Direct3D https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/ironpython/ironpython-sample-direct3d Mon, 02 Oct 2006 15:43:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ironpython/2006/10/02/ironpython-sample-direct3d/
  • Load and render DirectX meshes
  • Position, rotate, and move objects
  • Auto-track objects with cameras

The readme.htm in the download (download page: IronPython-1.0-Samples-Direct3D.zip) is quintessential to understanding this sample. It is written in tutorial format and walks you through various exercises that teach you DirectX API manipulation and usage. You do not need prior knowledge of DirectX or WinForms to follow the tutorial, although having some basic Python knowledge is highly advisable. By the time you finish with the tutorial, you should be able to comfortably work with basic Direct3D classes from Python.
]]> IronPython Sample: Pyc https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/ironpython/ironpython-sample-pyc Mon, 02 Oct 2006 15:40:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ironpython/2006/10/02/ironpython-sample-pyc/ download page: IronPython-1.0-Samples-Pyc.zip) will get you started.

IronPython’s Hosting APIs can be used to compile Python scripts into DLLs, console executables, or Windows executables. The pyc.py script included in this tutorial leverages these hosting APIs and can be used to compile other Python scripts. It provides a variety of flags such as the ability to specify the target platform of the .NET assembly (e.g., x64).

While the assemblies produced by the IronPython Hosting APIs are true .NET assemblies, the dynamic nature of the Python language makes it difficult to use these from other .NET languages. In short, this means that attempting to import Python types into other .NET languages such as C# is not recommended.
