[Ironpython-users] Understanding CPython and IronPython linkage

[Lucas Vickers]

Lol now you're scaring me ;)

Rhino3d uses IronPython to let us control low level .net Rhino APIs using python. Super cool. But what about pickle do u need to watch out for?

Due to the Rhino infrastructure it seems difficult to impossible to really debug an IronPython script hosted within rhino, so tracing low level bugs will be a nightmare.
