[IronPython] how to make zlib available?

2010-05-27 Thread Brandon Craig Rhodes
Hey, everyone! I am helping a client develop a new application that people will run on Windows machines (among other places). It occurred to us that third- party developers will be wanting to extend his application by writing in "familiar" languages like Visual Basic or C#. The "Python for .NET"

Another way to do this, and one I think you were trying to accomplish, and is probably superior, would be to move this to another thread. In your code you have: #t = Thread(ThreadStart(CreateZip(zipname, fname))) #t.Start() Which

Yikes! I'll take a look at this next Tuesday (the entire team is on vacation Until then) - a quick look over the code doesn't show us doing anything too stupid so I'm not sure what the problem is :( But feel free to open a bug in the mean time. > -Original Message- > From: users-boun.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried the bug fix suggested on the link you posted. clr.LoadAssemblyFromFile does not throw an exception, but it also doesn't return an assembly (in contrast, calling clr.LoadAssemblyFromFile for a different assembly in the same directory returns an object that print

If you feel obligated about the money, send it to the charity of your choice. :) The only Windows Forms book I've owned was "Windows Forms 2.0 Programming" by Sells and Weinhardt. If you definitely want to target WinForms (vs WPF), I would probably recommend it. On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 1:25 PM, ro

The bug at http://ironpython.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=26793 suggests you might have success with clr.LoadAssemblyFromFile. Otherwise, you might be able to use the Fusion log viewer ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e74a18c4(VS.80).aspx) to debug the assembly load process.

You almost certainly need to be pump messages occasionally if you're going to be performing a long operation on the UI thread. With Windows Forms, this involves calling System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents(). On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 11:55 AM, robinsiebler wrote: > > This is my 1st IronPytho

This is my 1st IronPython/.NET app. It is really simple, all it does is zip all the files in a folder into an archive, 1 file per zip. The problem is that when it is zipping large files 200MB+ the app stops responding. It is still zipping files, but the UI doesn't update. I don't know how to fix

Hey guys, I just tracked down a really nasty performance bug in our Silverlight application. It turned out that doing a simple string replace in a 400 character string was taking 700ms. As we actually do two replaces and the text is usually substantially longer this was a real problem. I fix
