IronPython in PyCharm, a new Python IDE

Image
PyCharm is a new Python IDE from the JetBrains team, still available only as an "early preview" (beta planned this summer). As well as the "usual features" for Python IDEs (debugger, syntax highlighting, projects and code navigation, code completion, testing and version control integration, etc) it has some nice features like django support, Python refactoring and support for IronPython. Some of the details of the IronPython support are on the PyCharm blog: PyCharm build 96.115 is available IronPython support . It includes the possibility to generate Python stubs for .NET assemblies, but for performance reasons the generation isn’t performed on project opening and needs to be triggered manually (press Alt-Enter on an import statement). This will allow for code-completion (intellisense) to work for IronPython code in the PyCharm IDE.

Another collection of IronPython and DLR related articles from recent weeks. Visual Studio 2010 Extension: IronPython IronRuby Console This extension adds IronPython and IronRuby to PowerConsole  so that you can interact with Visual Studio in IronPython/IronRuby. Please be aware that this extension only provides a simple tool to explore and interact with VS itself. It does not aim to be a development experience for the included languages. Tinesware: EasyWPF 0.3.93 An IronPython GUI library compatible with the Python GUI library EasyGUI . As the name implies, it is built on the WPF GUI library (making it Windows only). Like EasyGUI it has a demo app when you run the file showing the different controls/widgets the library supports. For more examples of how to use it visit the EasyGUI tutorial .

IronPython y SharpDevelop, en español (IronPython and SharpDevelop in Spanish)

A guide to using IronPython with the SharpDevelop IDE translated into Spanish. SharpDevelop is a .NET IDE for Windows. Of all the major .NET IDEs it has the best support for IronPython. IronPython y SharpDevelop, en español Hola. En este post vamos a hablar un poco del hermano de Python (ó CPython) para la plataforma de desarrollo de Microsoft .NET, IronPython. Como he comentado a lo largo de la vida de este blog, alguien que se quiera dedicar a esta bendita profesión no puede estar ajeno a las combulsiones que se originan en este mundo. Si alguien no se había enterado (que creo que no) Microsoft ha lanzado una nueva versión de su archiconocido Visual Studio, versión 2010, junto con la plataforma de desarrollo Framework .NET 4.0. Según parece en esta versión se le empieza a dar una mayor importancia a lenguajes dinámicos, como IronPython. Y es por ello que me he decicido a investigar este territorio, tan inóspito para mí. Y es que aprender nunca pasa de moda. Decir que IronPython e

For those who still aren't aware, Silverlight is a browser plugin that works with Windows and Mac OS X and in IE, Safari, Firefox and Chrome browsers. There is an official port from the Mono team, called Moonlight, that works with Linux and Firefox. .NET 4.0 is the version of the .NET framework (and C# language) that includes support for the dynamic keyword - allowing for dynamic typing in C# and easier interoperation between C# and dynamic languages. IronPython 2.6.1 is the latest stable release of IronPython. Despite being a minor point release there are some very nice improvements and new features. Headline

Professional IronPython

Professional IronPython is a new book on IronPython, published by Wrox and written by John Meuller  (who has apparently written 73 books). Create applications that are more responsive to user needs IronPython should be an important part of your developer's toolbox and this book will quickly get you up and running with this powerful language. John Paul Mueller clearly shows how IronPython can help you create better desktop or web-based applications in less time and with fewer errors. Throughout the pages, you'll find techniques for extending IronPython and making it a more robust language. In addition, you'll follow advanced steps such as building an IronPython extension that directly accesses the Win32 API. And you'll enhance your skill set as you introduce IronPython into other environments such as Linux® and Mac OS® X.       Professional IronPython is the third book on IronPython, with the first two being IronPython in Action and Pro IronPython .
