IronPython to generate DLLs consumable byother .NET modules?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=359313620-13082005>Claims are that
Iron Python can be statically compiled, promising higher performance. I'm
interested in writing parts of my system, implemented mostly in C# for .NET
under Win32 environment, in Python, mostly for fun, potentially also to save
time if it proves to be useful. Dynamic compilation is not an option, I want
to be able to call Python from C#, not the other way round, and without the
overheads of invoking the Python engine on my way there. Is there indeed
a way to achieve this? I don't see any clues on the web. Python does not
seem to consume any sort of command line switches and does not offer help
docs. Thanks a lot for all your responses.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
