Updates were recently released by both the IronPython and Boo projects: IronPython 0.7.5 was released for .NET 2.0. http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/ironpython Bug fixes: * Can't Open 2 or more IronPythonConsoles * File share error when opening the file for reading multiple times * Generate assembly in the same directory as the Python source * Can't OR flags together - note that to use bitwise operations on enums, the [Flags] attribute must be set on the enum * sorted() not implemented * Failed to sort list with mixed types * Remove nstr and zip2 from __builtins__ * Can't raise a long to an exponent * dir and __dict__ malfunction * Old class cannot be instantiated when passing parameters by name class A: def __init__(self, height=20, width=30): self.area = height * width a = A(width = 2) * Old style class cannot override __getattr__ * Initialization of the map using lambda is incorrect * Method lookup broken again - this was a regression in our dynamic method resolution code reported by Microsoft Research * PythonEngine Execute method runs only discreet statements For the full announcement see: http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/news/newsitem.aspx?id=ad7acff7-ab1e-4bcb-99c0-57ac5a3a9742&newsId=18584eaf-62a4-412b-8144-9a54b52efd8e ---- Boo 0.5.4 was released for .NET 1.1 and Mono. http://boo.codehaus.org/ Changes: * explicit interface members: def IDisposable.Dispose(): * char literals: char('f') * unicode literals in strings: \u0032 * a Set class (Boo.Lang.Useful.Collections.Set) * Singleton design pattern implementation (Boo.Lang.Useful.Attributes.SingletonAttribute) * the compiler will now call class provided '==' and '!=' operators; * the compiler will now look for an implicit conversion operator to boolean when evaluating the conditions for the if/while/unless statements * the version of antlr shipped with boo can now generate boo code. In other words you can now finally write parsers in your favorite programming language! * 'for' and unpack statements now also work with IEnumerator allowing fine grained control over iteration * better support for value typed properties * extended generator expression syntax * the 'in' and 'not in' operators will now work with any type that provides a op_Member and op_NotMember implementation respectively Full announcement: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/boolang/browse_frm/thread/141c452679fa84...
