[Python.NET] Invoking IPython programmatically

The requirement I have is the ability to work with the .net side of my application interactively with Python. I really like the various autocomplete features of ipython, which is why I decided to go that way.

I finally figured out how to invoke ipython programmatically, using one of the Python environment variables, PYTHONSTARTUP, I believe. I'm on vacation at the moment so I don't have all of the details handy, but when I get back I will post them.

Barton, can you please elaborate on why you think I should stay far away from ipython? If there are significant issues, I would be very interested in learning about them.

Thanks,
Frank.

Hello, Frank,
I routinely mix Python/wxPython/etc. with .NET via PythonDotNet without the need for IPy.
Is there some special need that you have for IPy or have you jumped to the conclusion that it is required?
Unless you have some special need to make IPy part of your application, please stay far, far away from it (you'll thank yourself later).
Please feel free to continue the discussion on the list - I'm replying directly because I am unable to site your original mail.
Thanks,
Barton

In a word - Bloat -
But you very well may have an interesting solution to the auto-complete
issue.

I've been considering what to do about that in Boa for a while now.
