I like IronPython a lot and I hope the packages turn out to be valuable and add to the technical computing environment. Thank you.

It will require involvement from the respective communities and whether they see value in the changes. I suspect some of this will depend on how the community develops around the .NET ports. My hope is that by adding the .NET platform it grows the overall community to the benefit of users on both platforms. For the most part, no not yet.

The core NumPy work is easy to port and I have run parts of it under Mono during development. All of the code is C# and cross-platform C/C++. Anything dependent on Cython (a few of the smaller NumPy support packages and most of SciPy) is a much bigger issue. The problem is Cython generates C++/CLI instead of C# and Mono doesn't support C++/CLI. We tried to avoid it but the nature of Cython requires the generation of managed code that can access native data structures. Getting the field offsets correct is handled automatically in C++/CLI because it can parse the header files. Reproducing this and instead generating C# is a fairly large project. Part of it perhaps.

A doddle using the instructions here. Had to patch file_tree.py - WindowsError doesn't exist on Linux (ArchLinux) for some reason - what is this Windows thing anyway? Some things don't work - notably up and down arrows. Either a typo in the code (QtGui object has no attribute QtGui) or it's written for an old version of Qt4 - I'm on 4.7.3. Or are these more things that only exist on Windows Qt? I'll have a look at these later... Just installed rsted. A doddle using the instructions here.
