              IronPython Beta 1 Now Available

            • IronPython: News item

              As per the Dec. 30th Announcement:

              We've just released the first beta of IronPython 1.0 and are entering the home stretch to a 1.0 final build. This build includes many bug fixes for issues reported to us by the community as well as many changes to get better compatibility with CPython 2.4. With this build we've addressed the majority of major design issues for a 1.0 final. We're not sure that you'll agree with all of our answers, so pick it up and let us know what you think.

              Also worth noting:

              The fact that we've released a beta isn't going to change this project's frequent release schedule. You should expect to continue to see releases every 3 weeks for the near future. We're not going to commit to any fixed number of beta releases, but I can tell you that I'm a huge fan of single digit numbers and a beta 10 release would be unbelievably ugly to have to make.

              IMPORTANT: As noted on the IronPython Beta 1 download page:

              You must install the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package prior to installing IronPython.

              Also worthy of mention: The complete list of bug fixes, changes, improvements, CPython compatibilities/incompatibilities, etc... is MASSIVE. Its worth a read.

              • Not as massive as the number of bugs and missing features still remaining.

              • And your point is?

                If wondering, my point was to point out progress of significant proportion. It seems your point, unless I’m misreading you (and given your unwillingness to leave even your name, I’m not), is to piss and moan and cry because MS is actually putting forth a solid effort to produce a solid implementation of Python for the .NET platform.

                Now I might change my opinion regarding my feelings as to why you left the comments you did, but anyone who’s not willing to attach their name to their comments suggests to me they’re founded on silly opinions of someone who’s hates MS but doesn’t know why.

                Also worth noting > CPython compatibilities/>incompatibilities<

                I didn’t disregard the fact that there are issues to be resolved. You just chose to ignore the fact that I did.

                Try forming some real opinions, attach your name to them, and then express these opinions with solid argument. If you can’t, please go somewhere else.
