Re: [IronPython] Any news about the next release?

2007-10-02 Thread Dave Fugate
The reason we've been releasing 2.0 as monthly alphas is that the Dynamic 
Language Runtime is still solidifying with improvements being made for IronRuby 
among other things.  While we could release a single alpha (or two) a month 
prior to 2.0 beta 1, we like to integrate feedback from the community into 
IronPython frequently.  Also, our team tries to follow the agile software 
development process (i.e., short release cycles).  Last but definitely not 
least, we're aiming to be Python 2.5 compatible with IronPython 2.0 and we're 
not quite there yet.

[IronPython] Default recursion limit

2007-10-02 Thread Michael Foord
Hello all,

For IronPython the default recursion limit is maxint: 2147483647

This is too deep for .NET - and infinite recursion causes the process to 
be terminated with a stack overflow exception.

You can fix this by calling "sys.setrecursionlimit(something)" with 
something sensible - but an unfeasibly large value as the default seems 
incorrect (?).

There is a further performance related issue. Generally IronPython is 
much faster for recursion due to lower overhead in function calls. For 
recursion depths of about 5000 though, IronPython takes *much* longer to 
raise an error than CPython (about 10 seconds as opposed to half a 
second or less).

Re: [IronPython] [python] Re: Any news about the next release?

2007-10-02 Thread Dave Fugate
We've been focusing on improving the DLR since the release of IronPython 2.0 
Alpha 1, and as such have had few resources to develop concrete plans for a 
1.1.1 release.  I know there are a few bugs you'd like to get fixed WRT 1.1 
(None.__doc__, urllib support, etc).  If people vote for these on CodePlex 
(adding comments that these are desired for 1.1.1) or even bring them up on 
this list, the priority for 1.1.1 would increase.

Also, if you submit any new bugs pertaining to IronPython 1.1 please:
 * prepend "IronPython 1.1:" to the title
 * add a "" tag
to help us search for them.

Thanks,

Dave

Re: [IronPython] -X:PreferComDispatch

2007-10-02 Thread Dino Viehland
I pinged the dev who's been working on this (he's actually on another team), 
here's the response I got:

We have not done comprehensive performance tests to find out differences 
between the two. Some time ago I tried to put a timer into test_cominterop.py 
where it iterated through an Excel 20x20 table and set values to it. In this 
test IDispatch-based calls turned out to be a bit faster.

Which of the two is better? IDispatch based implementation requires TypeLibs, 
while the other approach would need to have Interop Assemblies deployed. So, 
from this perspective IDispatch-based option is more flexible (although there 
is still a long road to have full fidelity between the two).

This enables using new support for COM objects that uses COM's IDispatch 
interface instead of trying to get a TypeInfo for the object and use that to 
invoke it.  With it enabled we'll first check for IDispatch then to see if we 
can get the TypeInfo, w/o it we'll check for the TypeInfo (via 
IProvideClassInfo or via IDispatch) and then try IDispatch if that fails.
