running .net with standard 2.4.1 installation
by Guy Robinson June 30, 2005

June 30, 2005

Hello, I've put the CLR and runtime dll's in my standard windows 2.4.1 installation and I'm getting the following(see below) crash and error information. It appears the runtime dll isn't being found. Yet they're both in the python/dll directory. I did have the binary pythonDotNet installed. But have uninstalled it. Can anyone shed some light on what's going on?

ANNOUNCE: Python for .NET beta 5 now available
by Brian Lloyd June 2, 2005

June 2, 2005

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.

from import issues
by Timothy Fitz May 12, 2005

May 12, 2005

Under 1.0 release candidate 1 for python 2.4, the exe installer with the option to install into my current python install selected, I run python.exe and do a simple from CLR.System import String and get an ImportError, but the second time it works. Played around a bit, it happens for anything at from CLR.Something import foo, but not if I do from CLR import System or such. After the initial ImportError, it won't happen again from what I tried. Running the python.exe included in C:\Program Files\PythonNet\, I don't get any of these ImportErrors.

calling Finalize directly
by mtraudt May 12, 2005

May 12, 2005

I realize that you cannot currently build on mono due to other limitations, but it seems that mcs also does not like the fact that you call Finalize() directly in some cases. The MS compiler does not complain, although on MSDN it says not to do this, and to use Dispose() instead. Is there any reason why you call Finalize() directly? Mark

Mono Support
by mtraudt＠quantifisolutions.com May 12, 2005

May 12, 2005

I must be missing something obvious. I have come across several references to Python.Net more or less working with Mono on Linux, although not reliably. The thing is, I don't understand how it can work. The interop assemblies (eg CLR.dll) are .NET assemblies, which means they are also PE format, not ELF. On Windows, the DLL is loaded and the CLR initialized automagically by the Windows/.NET loaders. But how does this work on Linux?

Please excuse my probably-inappropriate-but-highly-emotional language: Brian, you're the man! If you were a girl, I'd hug you! :) Honestly, thanks for this great work and for all your effort!

Announce: Python for .NET 1.0 RC1 released
by Brian Lloyd May 9, 2005

May 9, 2005

Hi all - I'm happy to announce the release of Python for .NET 1.0 RC1. You can download it from: http://www.zope.org/Members/Brian/PythonNet Highlights of this release: - Implemented a workaround for the fact that exceptions cannot be new-style classes in the CPython interpreter. Managed exceptions can now be raised and caught naturally from Python - Implemented support for invoking methods with out and ref parameters. Because there is no real equivalent to these in Python, methods that have out or ref parameters will return a tuple. The tuple will contain the result of the method as its first item, followed by out parameter values in the order of their declaration in the method signature. - Fixed a refcount problem that caused a crash when CLR was imported in an existing installed Python interpreter. - Added an automatic conversion from Python strings to byte[]. This makes it easier to pass byte[] data to managed methods (or set properties, etc.) as a Python string without having to write explicit conversion code. Also works for sbyte arrays. Note that byte and sbyte arrays returned from managed methods or obtained from properties or fields do *not* get converted to Python strings - they remain instances of Byte[] or SByte[]. - Added conversion of generic Python sequences to object arrays when appropriate (thanks to Mackenzie Straight for the patch). - Added a bit of cautionary documentation for embedders, focused on correct handling of the Python global interpreter lock from managed code for code that calls into Python. - PyObject.FromManagedObject now correctly returns the Python None object if the input is a null reference. Also added a new AsManagedObject method to PyObject, making it easier to convert a Python-wrapped managed object to the real managed object. - Created a simple installer for windows platforms. All known bugs have also been fixed - thanks to all who have sent in issue reports and patches for past releases. At this point, the only thing I plan to do before a 1.0 final is fix any new issues and add to the documentation (probably including a few specific examples of embedding Python for .NET in a .NET application). Enjoy! ;) Brian Lloyd brian(a)zope.com V.P. Engineering 540.361.1716 Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com

[PythonNet] 7/ 4 Resolve "crash caused by interaction between pythondotnet and CLR."

Issue #7 Update (Resolve) "crash caused by interaction between pythondotnet and CLR." Status Resolved, Threading/bug critical To followup, visit: http://www.zope.org/Members/Brian/PythonNet/Collector/7 ============================================================== = Resolve - Entry #4 by Brian on May 7, 2005 6:43 pm Status: Pending => Resolved Fixed for rc1. -BL ________________________________________ = Comment - Entry #3 by Anonymous User on Mar 31, 2005 2:43 am hello, I have skimmed the test case, and removed all dependancies toward the Simpy framework. Now it crashes once the python main loop is finished. If I comment out the code used to pass a python function as a delegate to the C# frame, it doesn't. here is the code: #test to show problem. import sys,time sys.path.append('.') from CLR.System.Reflection import Assembly a = Assembly.LoadWithPartialName("testpython") from CLR.testpython import MainForm, TestDelegate def test(): return "hop" if __name__ == '__main__': form = MainForm.GetInstance() form.TestDelegateProperty = TestDelegate(test) form.Start() time.sleep(1) print "done" Stan. the CLR sources are the same. Contact me if any more info is needed. ________________________________________ = Comment - Entry #2 by Anonymous User on Mar 30, 2005 11:18 am the python script to run is bin\Debug\test.py ________________________________________ = Request - Entry #1 by Anonymous User on Mar 30, 2005 11:18 am Uploaded: "testpython.zip" - http://www.zope.org/Members/Brian/PythonNet/Collector/7/testpython.zip/view hello, the following application (python/C#) is working properly, when I do not run simpy, a python framework. Once I enable, I get an immediate crash. See enclosed for runnable/compilable example. (run "python test.py"). To run, it needs the Simpy framework, GPL, that you can get there: http://simpy.sourceforge.net/ Simpy makes heavy uses of the "yield" construct. as soon as I uncomment that line in the script: #simulate() I get an immediate crash. I see no reason for this crash. Stan. ==============================================================
