[IronPython] Ironpython & COM vs Jscript.Net & COM

[Shri Borde]

IronPython 2.0 supports dynamic COM servers. See http://blogs.msdn.com/shrib/archive/2008/07/30/idispatch-support-on-in-ironpython-beta-4.aspx

Hi!

IronPython has poor support of COM techno. In particular, IP can not use 
dynamic COM servers (perhaps because they do not have TLB?).

Now, cPython is good to create dynamic COM servers  (see Python Programming 
on Win32, page 219 & +).

Thus, ironPython is bad, to use the COM servers made with cPython.

But...

Recently, I had a look on Jscript.Net (NOT managed_JScript).
I found that this language uses dynamic type (as Python), and can use 
dynamic COM servers!  (and without DLR!!!)

Example:
    var pd = new ActiveXObject("Ponxd.Mci");
    var result = pd.myfuncsinverse('AABBCC');



IronPython could use the mechanics of JScript.Net, for COM servers?    It 
would solve many problems.
