[IronPython] Making A Windows Form App

Wed Jul 6 23:22:00 CEST 2005

Namespaces are the biggest problem, LoadAssemblyByName and importing modules 
are always a paint for me. The 'editor' or command line tool is also a bit 
annoying as you can not copy or paste text from/to it which makes it harder 
to work with, but when I had a poke about with MSIL Disassembler I found: 
IronPythonConsole.FancyConsole, is this some kind of more advanced console, 
as I often make a lot of small programs in IronPython to test things about 
and something like a nicer IDE would be great, it is not like Jython where I 
can get a book so better documentation would go a long way.
