Dear list,
with a couple of colleagues, I am using PythonXY as the main Python distribution when using Windows. It is based on Python 2.6 (2.7 is now in the focus so that the next release will be made for this).
From what we see it should be possible to make this installation ".NET aware" without duplicating anything. However, we can't really find the required steps to do so.
Could you please point out what we'd need to download in order to proceed? Is there a "clean" installer so that PythonXY can be updated later? Or does a manual install interfere with this?
Thank you many times in advance for a quick-installation guide, best regards,
Daniel
To "install" Python.NET all you need to do is copy clr.pyd and Python.Runtime.dll to your Python (sys.prefix) directory. Don't know about any binary installers sorry, I've always just downloaded the source, compiled in VS and copied the files over. Works fine with PythonXY though as PythonXY doesn't know anything about the files it can't "uninstall" them (you'd just have to manually delete them) - e.g. Executing Python(x,y) 2.6.5.6 profile startup script: default.py Loading NumPy Loading SciPy Importing all NumPy functions, modules and classes Logging to C:\Users\dhirschfeld\.xy\logs\2011-05-17.py *** Pasting of code with ">>>" or "..." has been enabled.
