FePy seems to be dead, right? Sorry about that. This is a brief status update. And I could use it later as a changelog. How convinient.
1. I am now testing IronPython with CPython 2.6 standard library. FePy used 2.4 so far. Be sure to check collections.py issue Dave mentions here: http://knowbody.livejournal.com/13271.html 2. NAnt build system has been updated to the latest source layout change. My goal still is to do away with NAnt and improve Mono's implementation of MSBuild to build IronPython out of the box, but that hasn't progressed a bit, sorry. Dave wrote about the source layout change here: http://knowbody.livejournal.com/13980.html 3. ExtensionAttribute problem mentioned in the last December is gone. Mono bug on reference equality with generic constraints mentioned in March is still there. FePy trunk patches/latest has a workaround for this. Net result is that latest IronPython source drops from CodePlex compiles and runs with Mono! And no compiler warnings! (This has been my pet peeve, you know.) And I had no problem keeping it that way for some time. I updated "IronPython on Mono reports" page with relevant mails. http://fepy.sourceforge.net/doc/ironpython-mono-report.html 4. There is an IronPython bug that manifests only on Mono due to newline difference. The symptom is that expressions are not printed in interactive console. This took some time to debug, but there is a fix now. http://lists.ironpython.com/pipermail/users-ironpython.com/2009-April/010140.html 5. Current build on my local system generally works. It imports urllib and urllib2. This is quite a stress test... Not just import, but downloading webpages work too. On the other hand, importing decimal crashes Mono in segmentation fault! I suspect this has to do with move to 2.6 standard library and its abstract base classes meta machineries, but who knows. -- Seo Sanghyeon _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
