Hi Haymo, Thanks for responding.
Sorry, I should have clarified something. I never run IronPython standalone. I only use it embedded in my C# applications. For me that is the single biggest advantage of IronPython.
I understand what you are saying. I'm a professional software developer familiar with all these technologies, so I know what is involved to make it work. However....
The users of my application are non-technical. They need to be gently coaxed into even considering using python for the first time.
Of course WinForms is already there in my app for anyone to use from IronPython, but what I need to supplement this is a much simpler GUI system that has an easier learning curve, so my users won't be frightened off. Then they have a choice:
- full blown winforms - something simpler and familiar to most python users Thanks, Andy On 11/19/2014 11:47 PM, Haymo Kutschbach wrote:
Andy, for my understanding one of the biggest advantage of having IronPython is to actually be able to use things like winforms? As for all systems it will require some learning to begin with, of course. But in fact very little is required in order to get so much more than any of the systems mentioned in your link is able to provide. If you need a very newbee example: I recently had some fun experimenting with IronPython to create interactive scientific 3d plots in less than 10 lines: http://ilnumerics.net/blog/plotting-fun-with-ilnumerics-and-ironpython/ Having winforms and the whole .NET framework in the back, I can hardly imagine to recommend Tcl/TK any time soon... ;) Best, Haymo
