What I'd really like is the ability to create a .dll that we reference in other .NET apps, just as now we can write a class library in C# and use it in a VB.NET web application. I have zero clue of the complexity of that task, but that'd be my ideal. I imagine that'd be pretty hard, given the differences in function declaration semantics alone. I'm thinking of **kwargs and default parameters, specifically. I don't know how that would map to a C# compatible signature. I guess for default parameters: def foo(a=1, b=2, c=4): you could make successive overloads that call one "master" version: int foo(a) int foo(a,b) int foo(a,b,c) but then there's no way to do the equivalent of foo(b=3) without running into ambiguity, and you end up having to do a lot more function calls than you really should. .. back to C# sloggery.

If you're interested in experimenting with embeddable consoles, you should take a look at the code for IronPythonConsole which also uses PythonEngine to do its loops. Ultimately, I think that IronPython should ship with a standard interactive console for both winforms and avalon that have a few customization hooks but are designed to be easily plugged into your apps. I'm still not sure if this embeddable console should be written in C# or in IronPython itself and am curious to hear the results of experiments using either approach. I'm leaning towards the idea of building it, and even the standard command-line console, in IronPython.
