Re: [Python.NET] Python .NET on Windows 8.1

I had the same problem and the following fix in the file runtime/assemblymanager.cs made things work for me. I believe the problem is that on Win 8.1 there seem to be generic types that aren't in a namespace. My patch just skips those and thus prevents a crash. I am not sure whether that is the right way to handle it, but it does fix the crash.

Usually everything worked or at least there was a way to fix it. Right now, there is a situation, that I cannot understand. Since my PC got upgraded from W7 to W8.1 imports stopped working. It seems that something happens on clr module initialization stage, because when I try clr.AddReference("...") python answers: "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'AddReference'" When debugging with freshly built clr.pyd/Python.Runtime.dll I see that Runtime.Initialize() finishes without exception and clr module methods are added via InitializeModuleMembers(). Yet still, when I run my program clr doesn't work properly and seems like import hooks are not there (breakpoints at AddReference and other methods are not fired). Do you have any pointers for me in this situation? Thank you, Mihhail Maslakov

github migration
by davidacoder Jan. 16, 2014

Alright, I started this now. I created the github organization and the repo. I will also have a stab at migrating the svn history. I've marked the github repo as experimental for now so that it is clear that at this point it is not the official source (yet). I'll keep the list updated as I make progress.

I'm happy to help out with the migration and maintenance if it is decided to go ahead with this. The fork I created doesn't have the history from svn, so I think it would be better to start again with the sourceforge project and pull it into git with all the history and then merge in the various changes already in github. cheers, Tony On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 3:21 AM, davidacoder <davidacoder(a)hotmail.com <mailto:davidacoder@hotmail.com> > wrote: I guess my preferred option would be to create a github organization and host the repo there.

If, on the other hand, one of the original maintainers wanted to host it under their account, I would also understand that, i.e. if this is really someone's baby.

Making a true Python package out of Python for .NET
by Stephen Granade Dec. 12, 2013

Dec. 12, 2013

For a project I'm working on, I'd like to put Python for .NET in a more standard Python package that lives in site-packages. However, the bootstrapping that happens in InitExt() in pythonengine.cs doesn't work in that case. If I put together a package that looks like: site-packages pythonnet __init__.py clr.pyd Python.Runtime.dll add "from pythonnet" to the lines that the nasty bootstrapping hack looks for in traceback, then when I call from pythonnet import clr Python goes into an infinite recursion loop. The import calls up initclr() in ClrModule.cs, which calls InitExt() in pythonengine.cs, which calls Python with the command "from pythonnet import clr", which calls initclr() in ClrModule.cs, which calls InitExt().... For whatever reason, this doesn't occur with a straight "import clr", if I dump clr.pyd and Python.Runtime.dll in my root site-packages directory. What's going on?

Branching scheme
by davidacoder Dec. 5, 2013

Dec. 5, 2013

Hi everyone, if we do migrate to git, we should have a branching scheme for the project. I would suggest we just go with git flow (http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/). It is widely used, well documented, lots of people are familiar with it and we don't have to come up with our own rules or patterns. I expect that we probably won't be using the hotfix stuff much, if at all. The feature branches would simply be the pull requests of everyone against the develop branch. Whoever manages releases (and I would volunteer for that for a while) would have to follow the release branch stuff, but that also is not too involved. Any thoughts? Best, David

Release plan
by davidacoder Dec. 4, 2013

Dec. 4, 2013

Hi everyone, I'm trying to understand what the "official" release history is right now. PythonNet 2.0 was never officially released, correct? Was the last release 2.0 beta? In any case, I think it would be great if we released an official 2.0 version, provided binaries for download etc. My gut sense is that there would be significant benefits of releasing the current version + any major bug fixes as is, i.e. hold off from adding any new features. The current version seems to be used by a fair number of people and useful to them, and I think it would be good to have something officially released as quickly as possible. But, I don't know the codebase nor history well, so please chime in if you think that is a silly suggestion. Version 2.1 then could incorporate the various work people have done on forks of the project and maybe get setup.py to work on all supported platforms. We could also clean up some of the old files, docs etc for that release. In my mind such versions 2.0 and 2.1 could happen relatively quickly, i.e. don't be multi months projects but more like a few weeks at most. In general I think once we get setup/deployment via pip running, it would make sense to release new versions fairly frequently, even if they only add a few new features. Any thoughts? Best, David
