Install MONO and IronPython

IronPython 1.1.1 can run under Mac OS X Panther(10.3) with Mono 1.2.9_5 Framework - Universal. If you install Mono (via MonoFramework-1.9_5.macos10.novell.universal.dmg), you are ready to use IronPython. Note that current Mono version does not support Panther as a platform, but the 1.2.9_5 still works fine on my Panther.

The ipy command included in the Mono distribution:

$ type ipy
ipy is hashed (/usr/bin/ipy)
$ cat /usr/bin/ipy
#!/bin/sh
exec /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/1.9/bin/mono /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/1.9/lib/IPCE/ipy/ipy.exe "$@"
$ ipy
IronPython 1.1 (1.1) on .NET 2.0.50727.42

>>>

However, as seen above, the module ipy.exe is the version 1.1, which is older. We can upgrage IronPython to 1.1.1 by downloading the source from IronPython - Home . Building IronPython 1.1.1 can by done only by changing from CSC=csc to CSC=gmcs of makefile in Src.

control+H and quiting

The delete key on MAC OS X does not work in IronPython interactive session. Use control+H instead.

To quit IronPython session, we do import sys and then do sys.exit().

Testing Environment is OS X Panther
