This is a second time around that IronPython piqued my interest sufficiently to create a toy program to benchmark it and I must say the results are not encouraging: $ python bench.py Elapsed time: 1.10 s $ ipy bench.py Elapsed time:65.01 s and here is the benchmark program: import time start = time.time() def foo(a): return a * a data = {} for i in xrange( 10**6 ): data[i] = foo(i) print 'Elapsed time:%5.2f s' % ( time.time() - start) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
