ANNOUNCE: Python for .NET beta 5 now available
by Brian Lloyd 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Python for .NET 1.0 beta 5 is now available - you can download it from: http://www.zope.org/Members/Brian/PythonNet/ Python for .NET is a near-seamless integration of Python with the .NET common language runtime. For more details, see the README: http://www.zope.org/Members/Brian/PythonNet/README.html The beta 5 release features a refactoring of thread management support, making the runtime stable for multi-threaded applications, as well as several improvements and bug-fixes. Special thanks to all who sent in thread-related scenarios and test cases! I have tried to incorporate as many of these as possible into the unit tests - if you still have problems that you suspect may be related to threading or interpreter lock issues, please let me know asap. There is also now a mailing list for discussion, questions and issues related to Python for .NET at: pythondotnet(a)python.org. To subscribe to the mailing list or read the online archives, see: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythondotnet Brian Lloyd brian(a)zope.com V.P.

PythonNET and large WinForms applications..
by Jim Hargrave 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

I just discovered PythonNET and it's a wonderful solution. I can now call .NET and Java (via Jpype) code from the same Python script :-) I'm considering replacing wxPython with PythonNET+WinForms for all our GUIs. Is anyone else doing this for large apps? Do you consider PythonNet ready for developing feature rich user interfaces with WinForms? regards J ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message may contain confidential information, and is intended only for the use of the individual(s) to whom it is addressed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to get 'None' from .NET?
by Boris Capitanu 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

Hello, I'm trying to call from .NET some function defined in a Python script, and pass 'null' as one of the parameters of the function in certain situations. I was expecting that the bridge would map the 'null' in .NET to 'None' in Python, however I receive an exception in .NET when I execute the code. I have something like the following: -------------- 1. PyObject module = PythonEngine.ImportModule("script") 2. PyObject func = module.GetAttr("someFunction") 3. object aNullObject = null 4. PyObject[] arguments = new PyObject[2] 5. arguments[0] = PyObject.FromManagedObject("a string") 6. arguments[1] = PyObject.FromManagedObject(aNullObject) // I also tried: arguments[1] = null directly 8. func.Invoke(arguments) -------------------- When executed, line 6 throws a NullReferenceException if I use 'arguments[1] = null' instead of line 6, I get a NullReferenceException in line 8. How can I pass 'null' to a script? Thank you. Boris __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new resources site! http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/resources/

ActivePython 2.4.1.245 problem
by Boris Capitanu 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

Hi, I just upgraded my Python to ActiveState's 2.4.1 version and some thing apparently broke in the bridge. Here are some things I was able to do in version 2.4.0 that now no longer work: C:\Python24>python ActivePython 2.4.1 Build 245 (ActiveState Corp.) based on Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:33:37) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import CLR >>> from CLR.System.Reflection import Assembly Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: __import__ not found >>> ------------- C:\Python24>python ActivePython 2.4.1 Build 245 (ActiveState Corp.) based on Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:33:37) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import CLR >>> import CLR Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: __import__ not found >>> >>> import os Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: __import__ not found >>> ---------------- It looks that after you first "import CLR" something gets screwed up inside CPython's tables because it can't find any imports anymore. Anyone else have the same problem? Boris __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Make Yahoo! your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

Runs OK on Linux with Mono
by Louis Helm 31 Mar '05

Noticed you successfully installed Python for .NET on Linux. How did you build the CLR? I have VS.NET for windows but it only builds .dll class libraries. Building Python for .NET under mono fails. Cheers, Louie

[PythonNet] 5/ 2 Resolve "Strange errors"
by Collector: Python for .NET Issue ... 31 Mar '05

Issue #5 Update (Resolve) "Strange errors" Status Resolved, General/bug medium To followup, visit: http://www.zope.org/Members/Brian/PythonNet/Collector/5 ============================================================== = Resolve - Entry #2 by Brian on Mar 31, 2005 10:19 pm Status: Pending => Resolved This is fixed for b6 - due to an ill-advised decref of globals that only happens when the CLR module is imported into an existing Python interpreter... -BL ________________________________________ = Request - Entry #1 by Anonymous User on Mar 1, 2005 5:35 pm There seems to be some sort of strange crash occurring when importing CLR in the interactive prompt. It doesn't occur when executing a script from a file or in shells like PyCrust. Also, it does not happen at all in Python 2.3/PythonNET beta 3. Importing CLR seems to wreak havoc with the interpreter: Python 2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 11:49:19) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import CLR >>> print dir() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

NameError: name 'dir' is not defined >>> print __import__ Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? NameError: name '__import__' is not defined >>> __import__ Fatal Python error: GC object already tracked This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. Keeping a reference to globals() seems to suppress it: D:\Python24>python.exe Python 2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 11:49:19) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> a=globals() >>> import CLR >>> dir() ['CLR', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', 'a'] >>> __import__ <built-in function __import__> ==============================================================
