[Ironpython-users] IronPython 2.7.5 Schedule

[Vernon D. Cole]

Under no circumstances should the .py extension ever be taken away from *Python
Launcher for Windows* <http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0397/>.  I
have not looked at what happens when PLW is run on a computer which does
not have a version of CPython installed. If it does the right thing (launch
the first program mentioned in py.ini) then perhaps we should consider
shipping PLW with the installer, like CPython 3.3 does.
  At any rate, we should make sure that py.ini contains a proper
description of IronPython, so that shebang processing will work.  On my
Windows development machine, py.exe launches all my versions of Python. My
py.ini looks like this (note: the "jython" line is so long it wraps):

[commands]
> ipy="c:\program files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\ipy.exe"
> ipy64="c:\program files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\ipy64.exe"
> jython="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java"  -Xmx512m -Xss1152k
> -Dpython.home="C:\jython2.7b1"
> -Dpython.executable="C:\jython2.7b1\jython.bat"  -classpath
> "C:\jython2.7b1\jython.jar" org.python.util.jython
> kivy="c:\utils\kivy\kivy.bat"
