[Ironpython-users] Fwd: [python-win32] Python implementations on Windows 8rt

[Dino Viehland]

That was just to get it building and running :( There's still more work to do to make sure that Python's only using non-banned APIs to make it Metro compliant so that something can actually be shipped in the app store.

There were a bunch of other places where I ran into APIs which were still banned: thread local storage, registry APIs, console / env vars, and some others.  I was able to make some progress in #ifdef'ing those out but never made it far enough to get a build that passed all the checks.

Hey thanks for the prompt responses.

@Dino Viehlan - I saw that thread on building cpython as a metro app, http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-January/115489.html, the main question I have is about the win32 dependencies. So your saying that disabling ctypes removes that dependency?

There's PythonCE which is CPython for ARM devices for Windows - not sure how active that is or how much it matters.

About 6-12 months ago I attempted building CPython for ARM and the Dev11 compilers.  It built and ran fine - although I didn't run all of the CPython tests.  I think the main change (other than upgrading projects/solutions) I needed to make to get it to build was disabling ctypes support.

Can anyone here on the IronPython group answer this?

Hey,
Does anyone here know about python implementations for windows on Arm. I don't know where exactly where to look and this might be the wrong place but I am willing to help test/port it if necessary.

Thanks,
-Marcell V.C
