It should 'just work' for desktop apps, maybe some changes to get access to some of WinRT through the .NET projection, though there isn't much worth having unless you're a Metro app. Given IronPython runs on Mono/*nix as-is (ie. lack of PInvokes), there shouldn't be too much preventing it from bei

2011-11-21 Thread Markus Schaber
Hi, I want to set the __name__ variable to "__main__" in the script I execute. However, it seems that the __name__ variable always is overridden with the filename of the executed file. The attached example program gives the output "name: test" instead of "name: __main__". Googling brought up
