Cobra Forums

I really like scipy and mathplotlib, but i don't like my code being completely dynamically typed (python...). I'ts not about speed or memory usage, instead static typing often works as some kind of documentation for me, which makes things clear and code more readable (at least for me). This is the only reason why i'm moving to cobra right now.

So i'm trying to get scipy and mathplotlib running under cobra. I'm running cobra under linux with mono. So the first step was installing ironpython. This worked so far. The next step is getting scipy and mathplotlib running under ironpython, but this is where i got stuck. I found ironclad, which makes cpyhton libraries available under ironpython but it's for win32 only.

Any ideas how to mangage this enterprise?

I agree with you that static typing can improve readability and it's one of the things I enjoy about Cobra over Python. I especially like generics where I can nest the types.

Re: your problem, if your current step is to get IronPython working with scipy and mathplotlib then you're going to have to work directly with those communities (if you haven't already). I can see why you asked here--in case anyone already did this.

I presume you've already looked through things like:

You could also try the #mono channel on irc:

Good luck.
