Re: IDEs for COM scripting: C# v. Python v. Iron Python v. JPython

MS calls this typing assist feature IntelliSense: http://msdn.microsoft.com//msdnmag/issues/06/10/clrinsideout/default.aspx The Visual Studio SDK ships with a Visual Studio Integration sample of IronPython. This features IronPython projects to be created, syntax coloring, debugging, and IntelliSense® in Python files and the IronPython console. This is another example of the benefits of being a full-fledged .NET citizen: Visual Studio support! But things are changing very quickly with IronPython ATM. If you want to do anything with IronPython ATM, you'd be mad not to be subscribed to the IronPython mailing list. Try reading recent messages there, and asking there if still in doubt, what the current situation is (may *well* have changed since that article, and in particular you're very likely to need just the right versions of everything for this to work -- not necessarily the latest versions).

I hear great things about Iron Python: is there a good IDE for it that has a typing assist? You won't get it in python. Python has no type declarations, thus the IDE has no idea what type a name points to. This is true for IronPython as well. There are some other aids - for example eric (a python editor written in python, using Qt) will have API-files generated that at least let you choose the name of a method/property after you typed the first character. But you should still try and see how productive one is in python. I'm working in a Java shop, with eclipse - one of the most intimate IDE-language-relationships imaginable. I get all the auto-completion, refactoring and whatnot-support. And I'd swap it for python + emacs every minute. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: IDEs for COM scripting: C# v. Python v. Iron Python v. JPython
Can someone suggest some criterion for selecting Python, JPython or Iron Python for COM Scripting? I have not looked: I assume there are multiple eclipse plugins for Python/JPython/Iron Python. Could someone recommend one? I'll also try out eric that was mentioned previously. I figured out my problem with Groovy/COM/Eclipse scripting: I had outlook running in another remote desktop session and discovered that if I run my script in the same session as I am running outlook in, it works. I assume the situation would be the same with Python. Since Groovy/COM/Eclipse works for this purpose, I assume JPython with JaWin/Jacob would work too.

Re: IDEs for COM scripting: C# v. Python v. Iron Python v. JPython
Hi! No. The IDIspatch-interface explicitely lists what methods with what arguments it has. So code completion is possible there as well. Sorry, I think different. In VS, assists use TLB for find methods arguments. Dynamic-server can't have TLB. Other way for verify : try a Makepy on a COM server write with Python+Pywin32... -- @-salutations Michel Claveau -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi! I love the typing assist I get when using C# in VS2005 to write COM clients. But this run only for static-COM-servers. Dynamic-COM-servers are not supported by these assists. And, all COM-servers builds with Python are dynamic-COM-server. And also, dynamic-COM-server is a marvelous way for developpment. @-salutations Michel Claveau PS : C# can use dynamic COM servers, with late binding -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
