[IronPython] Orcas integration?

[Dino Viehland]

FYI getting this to work w/ v2.0 is probably no small amount of work.  We've temporarily removed several features from v2.0 (such as CodeDom and the static type compiler) which were used by the VS SDK integration to varying degrees.  The AST has also significantly changed which probably means the language service that targetted v1.x and shipped w/ the VS SDK is probably quite broken too.

We are talking to the VS SDK team and trying to figure out what version their next release will target, when we can get those various features back into 2.0, etc...  Unfortunately we don't have any sort of ETA yet.

On the other issues:
#1) You probably need the Mark of the Web in the .html file.  This will tell IE that the file that's local on your machine is to be treated as being in the internet zone.  A quick search for mark of the web should get you what you need.

#2)  There's an outer most exception handler and you might have VS setup to catch unhandled exceptions.  Try disabling that in the exceptions menu.  If that doesn't do it try disabling Just My Code and it should start catching all exceptions.

I didn't get to spend too much time on this yesterday, but all the
IronPython Visual Studio integration seems to have been ported over intact.
It's still using IP1.1 though, and I didn't dig far enough to see what it
would take to update it to use IP2.0.  Also, the Silverlight project wizards
create a C# vproj which builds a dll and then launches your app in IE.
There aren't yet any project wizards for setting up a similar vproj for
IronPython.  Of course the whole point of the VS SDK is so we can add this
stuff ourselves, but I'd rather focus on using the tools at this point
instead of extending them.

You can setup a C# Silverlight project and simply remove all the .cs files,
add your own .py files and switch the XAML over to using that instead:
<x:Code Source="Page.py" Type="text/python" />

Two things keeping this from being useful for me at this time:

1) IE pops up the ActiveX "are you sure" warning every time you launch for
debugging (this doesn't happen when just using the default C# codebehind).

2) The debugger doesn't catch exceptions thrown by IronPython (like it does
when launching an IronPython project) - instead the script just halts
(though other bits of the Silverlight app continue running as though nothing
happened).

The first one is just annoying, but the second one killed me when I wasted
an hour due to a missing 'global' declaration.

x = 10
def foo():
  global x # <-- I was missing this
  x = -x

Definitely a step in the right direction, but still a little early to be
working with it at this point it seems.

If anyone knows workarounds to the above mentioned issues, please share.
