Articles by Ibrahim: IronPython Console, ASP.NET, Visual Studio and readmee.com

By Michael Foord -
Ibrahim is the Turkish blogger whose posts and articles on IronPython that we've featured before. He has published several more articles in English on working with IronPython and one article in Turkish.
 In this article we take a deep look at IronPython Interactive Console. We will see some basics of Python and IronPython to become acquainted with the IronPython environment.

IronPython interactive interpreter console is the easiest way to start using IronPython.  We can easily explore whole IronPython world which is include ironpython modules, .Net libraries and Python Built-in’s. For IronPython starters it’s great way to exploring .Net Libraries. We can use IronPython Interactive Interpreter for start to developing WinForms, COM objects, WPF, XNA, Embeding C#, Silverlight… projects.
One of the IronPython development area is Asp.NET. In this article we will see Visual Studio 2008 Asp.Net integration.
First check out the features of Asp.NET here and ASP.NET Dynamic Language Support.

Then download the Asp.NET IronPython integration for visual Studio 2008 installer here.

Asp.NET with IronPython is really rocks! This combination gives us time/performance advantage. Especially in small scripts for events, python code is too short and powerful! So we can prototype projects quickly.

Because of Dynamic Language, it will work server-side on client’s machine and it works dynamicly. With this feature we can connect websites faster.
IronPython Studio Installation & Visual Studio 2008 Integration

IronPython Studio is a development IDE for developing IronPython projects based on Visual Studio. It’s like developing web application IDE "Visual Web Developer 2008 Express" for a specific development area. Built on Visual Studio and it’s free.

First of all you shouldn’t install ironpython studio setup directly. You must install some pre-requisites. If you try to install directly after that you get an error “Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application”.
You should first install Visual Studio 2008 Shell setup. It is available for Visual Studio 2008 Shell, Isolated and Integrated modes. You can install isolated mode from here about 380MB. After the installation open it from installed directory.
“IronPython” = Python + .NET

Merhabalar, bu makalem Readmee dergisindeki ilk yazım oldu. Umarım bu güzel dergide makale serimle sizlerle birlikte olur ve her ay buradan IronPython maceralarımı sizlerle paylaşırım.
Öncelikle kendimi tanıtayım. Ben İbrahim KIVANÇ. Erciyes Üniversitesi Bilgisayar Mühendisliği 4. Sınıf öğrencisiyim. 2 yıldır üniversitemde Microsoft Student Partner olarak görev almaktayım. IronPython projesine hem makale hem de yerelleştirme olarak yardımcı olmaktayım.

Extending Abobe Flash Player and AIR with Python and Ruby

By Michael Foord -
An intriguing blog entry about an Adobe experimental project. It is a C/C++ cross- compiler for the flash player and AIR. This means that you can (will be able to?) cross-compile the Python / Ruby/ lots of other language runtimes and then run them in Flash. The blog entry contrasts this approach to the DLR which requires the re-implementation of dynamic languages - hence IronPython and IronRuby. The project is already beyond proof-of concept, they even have Quake III cross-compiled and running in Flash. Extending Adobe Flash Player and AIR with C/C++ Cross-Compiler Quake 3 has already been ported to managed code , but this is even more impressive. Whether the Python interpreter can be cross-compiled to run on top of another runtime (with completely different basic types), without changing the language semantics at all, has yet to be proved - but it is a very interesting project. (It also means that Python/Ruby will possibly be enabled only by additional optional downloads - but don'

Should Python Projects Support IronPython and Jython?

By Michael Foord -
The maintainers of the Spring Framework for Python ( Spring Python ) wonder how much of a priority it is to have compatibility with platforms other than CPython. In other words, should they support IronPython and Jython - and if so what should they do about their C extension dependencies? This question sparks a good discussion and is relevant to many other Python projects and applications: Need for supporting IronPython, Jython? " One of the topics on my mind recently, as we consider refactoring the core container, is how we ensure that when we introduce internal dependencies, such as possibly the Amara libraries for XML processing, what secondary constraints we might be introducing. " " For example, Amara represents a very pythonic and therefore simple to read and use approach to developing XML processing, such as our very own XML application configuration parsers. So from that perspective, things are very attractive. But then you ask the question, "can I run this

Further Adventures of the Debugger

By Michael Foord -
Harry Pierson (Microsoft IronPython PM) has been experimenting with writing an IronPython debugger ( ipydbg ) on top of the .NET MDbg APIs. When we last left him , he had implemented Just My Code (JMC) support allowing you to step into IronPython code. Since then he has made a lot of progress including a colourful REPL (interactive console) and solving some difficult problems around getting to real values behind boxed IronPython variables (needed for showing local variables). He has blogged extensively on what he has been up to (more recent posts last): Showing Source Code Colorful Console IronPython ConsoleColorMgr (the colorful console code pulled out into a separate IronPython module) A Little Hack...err...Cleanup Getting Local Variables Displaying Values Command Routing Getting Arguments REPL Console A lot of functionality is now present. In the command routing entry Harry outlines the seven commands supported by the debugger so far: Continue, Quit, Show Stack Trace, Show Locals,
