VS is a mixed native / managed program, so Mono isn't sufficient to make it run on a non-Windows OS. If your goal is to host IronPython in a C# program, you should definitely be able to use the Express version to develop that. But you won't be able to use any of the Python tooling inside that copy of VS. You'd need to install a separate VS shell install to work with Python Tools. I belive you may still get some amount of IronPython debug support from Express if you set the right the right flags on your hosted IronPython engine such that it generates PDBs for the Python code.
Quite right (now that I'm awake...) ;-)

But since my laptop runs Windows so poorly, and my student copy of Visual Studio is on a workstation 200 miles away, it seems that it might be a good idea to do the initial coding using Linux (which runs pretty well on the same laptop) and Moonlight. Q1) Is there an IDE which runs IronPython on Linux? Q2) If I do have to use Windows, is there an Express (that is free) compiler which will run the new IronPython integration stuff? -- Vernon Cole _______________________________________________ Ironpython-users mailing list Ironpython-users@python.org <mailto:Ironpython-users@python.org> http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-usersVernon, I think I've seen where some folks were running SharpDevelop on Mono http://sharpdevelop.net/opensource/sd/ http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:Linux That should work for your C# coding... And the Express version (and/or free VSX shell) MIGHT run on Mono. Don't know.As far as the Express versions of VisualStudio, last I heard, they will not host the Python Tools for Visual Studio, BUT...you don't really need those anyway. I had a link somewhere to an article on creating a "debug project" in VS, where you basically just make a project out of the exe, and point the debugger to it. Works fine, but I haven't done it in a good while... If I run across it I'll drop you a line. The free VSX Shell WILL host the tools, allowing for IronPython dev and debugging, etc, I'm pretty sure, and it MAY run on Mono... not sure. Haven't tried it myself. http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=1366 <http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=1366> Best, Dave _______________________________________________ Ironpython-users mailing list Ironpython-users@python.org <mailto:Ironpython-users@python.org> http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-users
