Getting started with SciPy for .NET =================================== 1.) Download and install IronPython-2.7RC1.msi, this will require .NET v4.0. 2.) Add the IronPython 2.7 install location on the path, this is usually: C:\Program File\IronPython 2.7 As a check, open a Windows command prompt and go to a directory (which is not the above) and type: > ipy -V PythonContext 2.7.0.30 on .NET 4.0.30319.1 3.) Bootstrap ironpkg, which is a package install manager for binary (egg based) Python packages. Download: http://www.enthought.com/repo/.iron/ironpkg-1.0.0.py Then type: > ipy ironpkg-1.0.0.py Now the ironpkg command should be available: > ironpkg -h (some useful help text is displayed here) 4.) Install scipy: > ironpkg scipy numpy-2.0.0-1.egg [downloading] 2.12 MB [.............................................................] scipy-1.0.0-1.egg [downloading] 1.93 MB [.............................................................] numpy-2.0.0-1.egg [installing] 6.69 MB [.............................................................] scipy-1.0.0-1.egg [installing] 5.43 MB [.............................................................] Now scipy is installed into the IronPython environment. You can try importing it by typing: > ipy -X:Frames -c "import scipy"
