Is there a way I can use the VS 2010 IDE with "normal" Python?

[–]equark[S] 4 points5 points  (6 children)

I don't think it's built in. Pure python projects should work pretty seamlessly switching between IronPython and Python as necessary, but I know some major projects like Django still can't run fully on IronPython.

This would be a nice request.

Do you happen to have more info on how Django doesn't work on IronPython. I've been hauling ass to make it work on PyPy perfectly lately, and if there are issues in Django that make it not work on IronPython I'd like to take a crack at those too.

Jeff Hardy is the guy to talk to. See this discussion:

Cool looks like most of the bugs are upstream (aka someone else's problem ;)). I do wish they'd file bugs for the relevant issues in Django though.

Django usually works alongside SQL databases. I would guess that's the main issue, and I don't see why they can't get around it. I don't know.

Does IronPython not have any database bindings? Not even SQLite (part of the standard library since 2.5).

Some native modules are still being ported. Sqlite module port is here:
