Introduction

IronPython Studio is a free full IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for the Python programming language. It is based on the existing IronPython example that is included in the VS SDK.
IronPython Studio is based on the Visual Studio 2008 Shell runtime (royalty free) and can be installed without requiring any version of Visual Studio. It is available for Visual Studio 2008 Shell Isolated and Integrated modes.


For more information on VSX, visit the VSX Developer Center at http://msdn.com/vsx.

For IronPython general questions please use the http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com mailing list or the IronPython project http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython web site.

Very nice! The only thing that I've noticed so far is that it doesn't seem to recognize the IRONPYTHONPATH env var, so I have to append to sys.path every time I use it. A python file to auto-load on startup would be nice. Perhaps a solution-specific startup be even better. Ahhh, feature requests. The problem with actually having users :)

Very interesting. I'm very happy to have found this project.

The project and file handling is as usual excellent for Visual
Studio's and you can very easy design windows form layouts.

I copy the form designs to another python console application project deleting
the __slots__ (see the issue tab), namespace classes and review the imports. The studio is
a magnet for beginners used to work with Visual Studio for Basic, C#
and other language.

There are three major issue using IronPython Studio:

First it uses __slots__. You can not add values to the form class
and keep to design the form. The __slots__ content is only and only
for the the added window controls.

Secondly it has confused me about import and bad namespace structuring
using classes.

Thirdly the editor creates compiler errors . Tabs are added in code snippets, so the editor shows wrong indents resulting in indention
compiler errors. The problem became smaller after I set up all tabs to be spaces and set the tabs to 60 spaces. Then tabs are easy to see,
where the bad tabulated indents were.

An upcoming issue is the appartment model for ActiveX and COM-components. I have seen flashes of error messages notifying about
wrong appartment for for example the webbrowser control. It came, when I try to start a worker thread beside the main window form thread running
Application.Run(..).

After using it for a few hours, I'm simply amazed. I can write Python code in my day job because it's tightly integrated into Visual Studio! I want to contribute...

Hi ...
a question: why can achieve only projects WPF? And not console application as described in the screencast instead?

This is a total "newbie" question: Does the shell integration work with Express versions of Visual Studio 2008 or VS 2005 Professional?
