ironpython

I am interested in getting an install of Django running on IronPython, has anyone had any success getting this running with some level of success? If so can you please tell of your experiences, performance, suggest some tips, resources and gotchas? Besides the Jeff Hardy blog post on Django + IronPython mentioned by Tony Meyer, it might be useful to also read Jeff's two other posts in the same series on his struggles with IronPython, easy_install and zlib. The first is Solving the zlib problem which discusses the absence of zlib for IronPython; hence, no easyinstall. Jeff reimplemented zlib

I want to know shuffle string Example string string word; //I want to shuffle it word = "hello" I would be able to get: rand == "ohlel" rand == "lleho" etc. This solution (in a form of extension method) is nice: public static string Shuffle(this string str) { char[] array = str.ToCharArray(); Random rng = new Random(); int n = array.Length; while (n > 1) { n--; int k = rng.Next(n + 1); var value = array[k]; array[k] = array[n]; array[n] = value; } return new string(array); } C#: string str = "hello"; // The random number sequence Random num = new Random(); // Create new string from the

I'm currently working on an application written in C#, which I'm embedding IronPython in. I generally have no problems about it, but there's one thing that I don't know how to deal with. I want to import an external module into the script. How can I do that? Simple import ext_lib doesn't work. Should I add a path to the lib to sys.path ? Maybe it is possible to copy the lib's .py file into app directory and import from there? EDIT: I finally chosen another solution - compiled my script with py2exe and I'm just running it from main C# app with Process (without using IronPython). Anyway, thanks

I am loading an IronPython script from a database and executing it. This works fine for simple scripts, but imports are a problem. How can I intercept these import calls and then load the appropriate scripts from the database? EDIT: My main application is written in C# and I'd like to intercept the calls on the C# side without editing the Python scripts. EDIT: From the research I've done, it looks like creating your own PlatformAdaptationLayer is the way you're supposed to to implement this, but it doesn't work in this case. I've created my own PAL and in my testing, my FileExsists method gets

I'm writing a C# application which has IronPython (2.0.1) embedded in it. The idea is to expose portions of the application to the IronPython scripts, which the users write. I want to provide the ability to the users to be able to debug the scripts written by them, using the Visual Studio Debugger. Note that the scripts are run in the hosted environment and not through the IronPython executable (ipy.exe). After a bit of Reflector magic on the IronPython assemblies, I came up with something which lets me do that, but I'm not sure if this is the prescribed way. Basically what I do is create a
