[Python.NET] building on linux, mono 2.8.1

[Laszlo Sebo]

We have been using it in maya on windows as well for a long time 
actually. We do have some event calling mechanisms as all of our custom 
GUI is implemented in the .net assemblies, and they communice with maya 
using some event hooks & delegate functions.

It seems to work well, as long as we are careful.

In the meantime, i got python.net working with the latest version of 
mono (2.8.1). Do you guys mind if i check in some minor changes to the 
source? I could post an svn patch here first.


cheers,
laszlo

There is some info in the Maya Python SDK regarding how to deal with Python threading and Maya, and it seems to work with .NET callbacks as well. I've found that is seems best to add a flag to your .NET assembly that enables/disable events so that you can shut them off quickly before you end up with stacked event callbacks and resulting Maya crashes. If you're not raising events that percolate into Maya, then you probably don't need to worry about this.
