On point #1:<br>
Yes, both package management and the unmanaged exports package work
correctly on linux under MD.<br>

1. Does that stuff work correctly when you're using something
like monodevelop?</p>

manually written clr bindings? Was it only to simplify the
binding process?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think one major barrier for easier
adoption of pythondotnet right now is setup, i.e. how
you get to a point where you can just use it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think there are a couple of issues:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- the download page on sourceforge is
confusing. There are five folders on the first page that
don’t seem to follow some common naming scheme. Three
have a pythonnet version in it, one doesn’t have any
version in the name and the last one refers to a CLR
version. If I land there I just don’t know what to do
next.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- There doesn’t seem to be a win x64
download, which I would assume to be the major version
in use right now.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- In general the builds seem to be
old</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- There don’t seem to be mono builds
(although, should there be?)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the same time I feel that with the
new package stuff happening in the general python world
the idea of having a binary zip file download is getting
old in any case.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One potentially elegant way around
this is to provide binary wheels for pythondotnet that
are hosted on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://pypi.python.org" target="_blank">pypi.python.org</a>
for windows. I don’t know how the mono stuff would work
and multi-platform things, though… In any case, I think
it should be feasible at that point to simply use pip to
install pythondotnet:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">pip install pythondotnet</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and that would do the trick. And now
that pip is bundled in the default python distribution,
I feel that would essentially solve the distribution
problem completely, right? I think such a pip install
should just make the clr module available for import. I
am less sure whether such a wheel install should also
put npython.exe somewhere onto the path (scripts
folder?).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thoughts?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>
