Hi, I have been evaluating IPy tools for VS2010 with a view to our customers, partners and client services teams using it with VS 2010 Integrated Shell so they can create Silverlight UI's that talk to our REST API using IPy. Overall its going well, but I have a few questions:
1. Intellisense/autocomplete will be really useful for our users. Can anyone tell me what should and shouldn't provide this capability. So far it seems that some System types provide it and Python Module Methods work as well but I'm not sure what else should work as it is a little buggy. For example is there any way to get intellisense from 3rd party c# dll's? 2. Using a Python Project and Chiron, what is the best way to include 3rd party .dlls in the xap? At the moment I've copied the .dlls to the IP Silverlight\bin folder and added them to the "assemblies" attribute of IPy's <Language\> tag in Chiron.exe.config. This works OK but means all .dlls will be included for all python projects. Is there a way of getting this to work for each project individually without the users having to do anything manually (I want to create project templates that they can be up and running without doing any config themselves). Alternatively could the .dlls be downloaded from outside the xap e.g. from another .xap or .slvx? 3. Is anyone currently working on the IPy tools specifically? There are quite a lot of bugs right now unfortunately and many of them would need to be fixed if we were to use it. Note that my company may be willing to provide some resource in that area if we decide to proceed, but we don't have much experience with VS extensions so we may need some guidance.
