It's worth mentioning that there is a project to get CPython C extensions working under IronPython: <http://groups.google.com/group/c-extensions-for-ironpython/>

The list is quiet at the moment, but work is going on... hopefully we'll have something more to report soon.


Cheers,

Giles

Hi all,

I've been looking at IronPython a bit lately as an alternative to
CPython.  I've had some difficulties, however, getting it working on
Linux. I've just spent a few minutes trying to get it running under
mono, and I haven't been that impressed. Among various problems:

Hello Evan,

Linux and Mono support is through the FePy project.

http://fepy.sourceforge.net

It addresses the build concerns you raise and provides some modules that don't come with the standard IronPython build.

You can't use CPython extensions (the ones written in C anyway) with IronPython though, and should look for .NET equivalents.

All the best,


Michael
