Thank you Curt and Michael for the explanation... I think the best thing to do for the time being would be to simply use CPython to get the data I need from the gmail mailboxes and let IronPython kick in after that.
The processing is sequential, so a batch file to run the processes back to back will work well. Thanks again.

In general, IronPython cannot use binary extensions that were created for Python. There's a project aimed at overcoming this limitation; see http://www.voidspace.org.uk/ironpython/cpython_extensions.shtml for more details. You would probably have get a bit hands-on to make this work with the _ssl module that's part of CPython. As I understand it, the goal of IronPython is to provide as much CPython compatibility as possible, with priorities determined at least in part by community input. There doesn't yet appear to be a work item for SSL support at CodePlex, so maybe you'll want to go to http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/WorkItem/List.aspx and add it. Others will then have the opportunity to vote on the work item and express their support for its implementation. -- Curt Hagenlocher [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
