IronPython Reviews and details

• IronRDP: a Rust implementation of Microsoft's RDP protocol

  I think of IronPython and IronRuby and IronScheme, early attempts at Microsoft trying to combine cornmeal with .NET and open source and calling it a burrito.

• Python 3.13 Gets a JIT

  If you're interested in learning more about the challenges and tradeoffs, both Jython (https://www.jython.org/) and IronPython (https://ironpython.net/) have been around for a long time and there's a lot of reading material on that subject. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How python's Multithreading differs from other languages

  There are several ways of bypassing the GIL. First of all, the GIL is only present in the C implementation of Python, CPython. Other implementations of Python like Jython, IronPython, and PyPy don't have the GIL. Additionally, Python provides the multiprocessing library, which allows for parallelism in your Python program. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Starting Python, confused about cross platform app development. Is IronPython + .NET the only option?

  I am not set on .NET, but just curious, so thanks for the suggestions. Interesting that it's billed as cross-plaform, but doesn't do it that well. I just searched 'python wrapper for .net' and found PythonNET. Also, it seems yes IronPython is active. Source: about 2 years ago

• Scripting inside Rimworld with Unity: Impossible? With java it is a 3 liner.

  There are quite a lot of ways to run scripting languages in C#. I've no idea what JSR223 is but .NET has DLR for example. There are also multiple libraries: IronPython, NLua, Jint and Jurassic for Javascript. There's also older version of CS-Script working with .NET Framework. Source: over 2 years ago

• Execute Python script from .Net Core API backend

  If you need control over how the script runs, access to variables etc, I can highly recommend IronPython, but it might be overkill for what you need. Source: over 2 years ago

• Newbie here, How useful can Python be for Indie game development?

  (3) Thirdly, there are so many technologies out there that would make Python being an interpreted language a complete non-issue. For example, Iron Python compiles Python to .Net bytecode, essentially meaning, your compiled Python has the potential to be as fast as comparable Dot Net code, Jython (a comparable library built for the JVM), and Transpyle, a transpiler that can convert Python code to comparable C/C++...

• A Python-compatible statically typed language

  I've no idea what op meant, but I am aware that there's ironpython for dotnet, analogous to jython for the jvm. Never used it because, well, for starters I generally do java or python on linux anyway, but I presume interop with c# is fairly good much like jython with java. Source: over 2 years ago

• Node.js vs. Python: How to choose the best technology to develop your backend

  IronPython: allows Python to integrate smoothly with Microsoft's .NET framework. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• Unpopular opinion maybe but C# is getting too bloated

  Iron Python? It originated at MS, but was abandoned and split off over 10 years ago. I'm not sure if that qualifies it as "non MS". It's part of the .NET Foundation now, though. Source: almost 3 years ago

• can i use c# for gui and python for core?

  I'd suggest taking a look at https://ironpython.net/. Source: almost 3 years ago

• It's getting out of hand.

  Shouldn't Python already work on WASM by means of Blazor? (I mean IronPython compiled .DLLs). Source: almost 3 years ago

• WPF > Python > WPF

  Or you can use something like IronPython to host python in C# and do it, or just host the interpreter yourself. Source: over 3 years ago

• Can you connect C# with Python?

  Depending on how you want to handle things, you could use something like https://ironpython.net/, but Newt is correct in that you'll probably want some sort of restful backend in Python. Source: over 3 years ago

• Python stands to lose its GIL, and gain a lot of speed

  IIRC, jython's core developer went on to make Iron Python for .NET, which does have a 3.X branch, latest release just a few months ago? Source: over 3 years ago

• Tuesday Daily Thread: Advanced questions

  I'm also aware to possibility to cross-compile(?) my python to CLR (https://ironpython.net/ and https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet ). But IT people said it is highly unpreferable as they will want to maintain/update the code, and will not be able to do so if the backend is still written in Python. Source: over 3 years ago

• Is it possible to use C# and Python in unison?

  You could also look into something like IronPython to bring Python into the .NET environment. Source: over 3 years ago

• Running Python(interpreter)/C ++(compiler+exe) inside a game

  I did something similar in Godot using IronPython and C#. Source: almost 4 years ago
