A Good Mix 5: Cookbook entries, ADODBAPI and IronPython with Asterisk

Only the finest selection of articles and blog posts on IronPython and related topics. Connection String Editor A recipe in the IronPython Cookbook showing how you can prompt the user for a connection string (for connecting to databases) using a built-in connection string editor dialog box from the Microsoft .NET Framework. IPY as AMI client thru AMIConnector A blog entry demonstrating the power of the interactive interpreter for exploring new libraries. This entry investigates AmiConnector , which is a .NET library for working with the Asterisk Manager. Kudos to Vernon Cole Dave Fugate, IronPython testing and infrastructure guy, pays homage to Vernon Cole for pywin32's adodbapi which runs under both CPython and IronPython. The tests have now been added to the IronPython test infrastructure so that the IronPython team will get early warning if they break it. Dave comments " Now I just need to setup Northwind databases on 40+ test machines... ". Self-executable scripts A...

Invoking a SOAP Based Web Service with Powershell

In something of a mix of technologies, Kevin Hazzard explains how to use his 'ProxyForWsdl' project to invoke SOAP based webservices from Powershell. The relevance to IronPython is that the ProxyGen part of this project makes good use of IronPython in the test harness: Invoking a SOAP Based Web Service with Powershell

The Python Challenge - from Powershell!

Mark ( The Powershell Guy ), has been having fun with The Python Challenge . Several of the levels can be done straight from Powershell, but the latest one he has reached requires loading Python pickles. To solve this he uses the IronPython assemblies and the Python standard library, from Powershell of course : POSH Challenge Part 3 (Using IronPython) POSH Challenge Part 2 (Level 1-4) POSH Challenge Part 1 In one post he mentions the Microsoft Winter Scripting Games , which are Feb 15th to March 3rd. Hopefully there will be some contenders using IronPython.

Making POSTs, Launching Subprocess and Wiki Additions

Andrzej Krzywda has done a new blog entry: How to programmatically submit a POST form using IronPython Steve Gilham has done a blog entry about launching subprocesses with IronPython: Spawning a process in IronPython Both of these examples are in the IronPython Cookbook Wiki , along with several more additions like: Watching the FileSystem Connecting to Active Directory - using a Powershell assembly from IronPython Setting the Clipboard - Using Windows Forms to set the clipboard (and creating a Single Threaded Apartmentstate (STA) Thread). Working with File Paths has been expanded, and the following pages filled in: Core Concepts IronPython FePy: The IronPython Community Edition The DLR: Dynamic Language Runtime The .NET Framework Mono Silverlight
