La Zope Corporation ha annunciato l'implementazione del linguaggio Python per la piattaforma .NET, di cui ha reso disponibile una prima versione beta, liberamente scaricabile.
Secondo quanto dichiarato da Brian Lloyd, VP Engineering di Zope Corporation questa beta comprende già una quasi completa integrazione di Python con il Common Language Runtime (CLR) di .NET.
E' gia quindi possibile sviluppare anche applicazioni non banali.
Ecco di seguito l'annuncio in lingua inglese:
Python for .NET
Python for .NET is a near-seamless integration of the
Python runtime with the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR). It
lets you script and build applications in Python, using CLR
services and components written in any language that targets the
CLR (C#, Managed C++, VB.NET, etc.).
The package is open source, released under the ZPL. It is currently
in beta, nearly feature-complete and usable for real-world applications.
- The README
provides a detailed overview of Python for .NET, as well as
some basic usage examples. Many other examples can be found
in the demos and unit tests for the package.
- Checkout the
PythonNet code
from the Zope public CVS. See the
ReadOnlyAccess instructions on dev.zope.org for details.
- The beta 1 release,
PythonNet-1.0-beta1.tgz,
is a self-contained assembly that includes the Python runtime and
everything you need to run on win32. This package can also be used
to some extent with Mono on win32 and with Mono on Linux, though
with some caveats (see the README for details).
There is now a Python for .NET mailing list: pythondotnet@python.org.
To subscribe to the Python for .NET mailing list or read the online
archives of the mailing list, see the
mailing list information page.
