In what must have been a fit of insanity, I decided to try porting IronPython to Mono for Android. Surprisingly, it wan't that hard to get it to compile, and the new build system makes it much easier to add more platforms (this is not a coincidence, of course).
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about MonoDroid to say that it will work 100%. My very quick hello world demo worked, but it doesn't do much. I don't know what pieces are only loaded at runtime that will fail, and I haven't figured out a sane way to run the test suite under the Android emulator. If you want to check it out, there's a preview build available at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18551867/IronPython-2.7.2a0.zip (look in Platforms/android) and the source is at https://github.com/jdhardy/ironpython/tree/ipy-2.7-android. Please open any issues on http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic, as always. This, of course, is just the beginning. MonoTouch, Windows Phone, Windows 8 Metro, etc. would all be nice additions as well. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Ironpython-users mailing list Ironpython-users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-users
