Linqpad support for IronPython

keishiko

Hi. I would very much like to write and run IronPython scripts in Linqpad. I hope there will be an IronPython support in the future. Thanks for a very wonderful tool, Joe!

There's moderate support for this, so it will probably be added at some stage:

Right now I'm working on Nuget integration...

With Nuget integration looking good any thoughts on taking a stab at IronPython integration? I realize implementing full "auto-complete" is an undertaking but even syntax highlighting (already in actipro right?) and bare bones execution support would be very useful. Granted, c# in statement mode is hard to beat as a scratchpad. But I still find myself leaving Linqpad to play with a python code fragment in the only decent IronPython scratchpad around, IronLab (https://code.google.com/p/ironlab/). Given how well IronPython works with the .NET world (and CPython) it seems like a logical fit to have it in Linqpad.

Anyway, thanks for the amazing tool!

mattishi, I assume you are aware of the existence of Python Tools for Visual Studio? I've not tried it but it looks very feature-rich and it has an interactive window as well.
