<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><br><br>You are right it is not mature. I use it, because the editing and project handling is ok. I have obstructed a lot features in order to have it work:<br><br>- The project management is good as usual. <br>
- The genereated code is not good, so I have obstructed it too.<br>- The editing is ok<br>- Intellisense is stopped.<br>- Tabs ar set to 30 spaces, so I can see the wrong indentions.<br>- It is possible to debug your own code ignoring with patience a lot of code not debuggable.<br>
- Two windows can be open at the same as in Emacs C-x, C-2<br>- Produce compiled Python, which can not be used from the Ipy interpreter.<br><br>Missing features:<br>- Correct intellisense including correct indention.<br>- Go to defintion should work.<br>
- Debugger have to step over silenty undebuggable IronPython code in external assemblies.<br>- The design should produce correct and editable IronPython code.<br>- A way to interact with running windows.forms once Application.Run() is called, you can not give any python commands.<br>
<br>I have found it reasonable to write small interactive
test with JEdit using the Ipy.exe python interpreter on the side (import
module - run test C-Z exit). <br>
<br>Looking forward to a new version og the Studio, but the people behind are busy earning money.<br><br>Regards <br>Jan R.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/10/5 Antonio Cangiano <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:acangiano@gmail.com">acangiano@gmail.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hello,</div><div><br></div><div>I tried IronPython Studio and found fundamental flaws that make programming with it far from enjoyable. Amongst the annoyances are the lack of automatic indentation and the fact that the IntelliSense fails to propose a list of properties for a given control. More severely, I noticed that the IDE wipes out all the code already written by the developer, if you double click on a particular event within the Properties window for a control. Also, if you double click on a particular event in the same window, and then remove the code for handling the event, in Designer mode you will no longer see the UI you had laid out, but just a basic form.</div>
<div> </div><div>My question to the IronPython community is, what do you use? Do you all use IronPython Studio for designing the UI and then hack away the business logic with your favorite editor? If so, I think that the current shortcomings of the IDE may negatively affect the adoption of IronPython itself. I enjoy Python programming much more than I enjoy C# programming, but after an hour long session with IronPython Studio I was longing for the comfort of using the C# IDE.</div>
