Hi, Von: Jeff Hardy
> The latest version of IronPython includes support for Android and Window > Phone 7.5 devices. These are some rough notes for anyone who's interested: > Android > ---------- > Supports full code generation and almost every feature. Great news, thanks! > WP7 > ----- > Does not support creating types at runtime. The biggest limitation is that > you cannot inherit from .NET types (except System.Object). A lot of platform > pieces are also missing, like sockets. Something like this was to be expected. > iOS > --- > Not supported - MonoTouch supports NO runtime code generation at all (not > even DynamicMethod). I need to look deeper to see if it's possible to run > without it. The problem with the runtime code generation is a legal restriction by Apple, AFAIR. I just remembered that there was a pure interpreter mode in ancient times, but AFAIR, interpreters are also forbidden by the same license restrictions. Maybe a form of precompiled scripts could run there? But I don't know whether it's worth the effort... > Obviously, the limitations need to be spelled out better. My inclination > right now is to label the mobile platforms as "preview only" for 2.7.2 and > improve them for 2.7.3 (due in June). Those who know these platforms better > than I do, especially Android and WP7, should still give them a spin and open > issues for any difficulties that they find. > And, as always, patches are welcome. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Ironpython-users mailing list Ironpython-users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-users Best regards Markus Schaber -- ___________________________ We software Automation. 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH Markus Schaber | Developer Memminger Str. 151 | 87439 Kempten | Germany | Tel. +49-831-54031-0 | Fax +49-831-54031-50 Email: m.scha...@3s-software.com | Web: http://www.3s-software.com CoDeSys internet forum: http://forum.3s-software.com Download CoDeSys sample projects: http://www.3s-software.com/index.shtml?sample_projects Managing Directors: Dipl.Inf.
