just in case you missed it (i know i did so far), IronPython has been released: http://www.ironpython.com/ on 28th of July. It is an (incomplete) port of Python to the Common Lanuage Runtime (CLR) of Microsoft's .NET. And the author, Jim Hugunin, will begin to work for Microsoft on 2nd of August (read more about it on the web site above).

If anyone has tried it out already feel free to share your impressions. So far, I only skimmed the source code (c#) a bit because it doesn't seem to be easily runnable on linux.

Well it's easily runnable on OS X if you have mono installed.. so I would have to imagine it's easier on Linux.

yip, it does run with mono 1.0 on linux. However, as Robin mentioned, the Console easily gives errors and segmentation faults, even. I first thought that this indicated that it wasn't running properly at all. But running some scripts and pystone works. has anyone actually re-compiled the c# files into an executable on linux? I just used "mint bin/IronPythonConsole.exe". cheers, holger
