IronPython in SharpDevelop

SharpDevelop is an open-source .NET IDE for Windows. (The cross-platform Mono .NET IDE MonoDevelop started life as an early fork of SharpDevelop.)

Features of SharpDevelop include:
  • Support for Mono
  • Supported languages include C#, VB.NET, Boo, IronPython and F#
  • IDE features like refactoring, code completion, Windows Forms designer
  • Can run from a USB device
  • Read only projects
  • Parallel build support for multi-core machines
  • Multi-framework targetting (.NET 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5)
  • Integrated support for tools like FxCop, Wix, NUnit, TortoiseSVN, MSBuild etc
Of course on this blog it is the IronPython support that we are interested in.

Back in 2007 Matt Ward blogged about the IronPython AddIn Internals, and some of the features it included. Now that SharpDevelop 3 is out, the support has matured and Matt has done a new blog entry showing how to use the Python standard library with SharpDevelop 3 and IronPython 2:
