MS website says:
"""System Requirements
* Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003; Windows XP
You must install the .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package Beta 2
prior to installing IronPython."""
And
"""Important: You cannot install two different language versions of the .NET
Framework on the same machine. Attempting to install a second language version
of the .NET Framework will cause the following error to appear: "Setup cannot
install Microsoft .NET Framework because another version of the product is
already installed." If you are targeting a non-English platform or if you wish
to view .NET Framework resources in a different language, you must download the
appropriate language version of the .NET Framework language pack."""
So, one has to uninstall their stable .NET Framework to install a beta .NET
Framework to try out a beta release of a new Python? Would this not be of
concern to folks who actually build ontop of .NET (and want to be sure their
current code / applications / tools work)?
It is really all or none with MS, isn't it? If the language/application is not
ready for prime time, why would someone commit to beta code and a beta
framework upon which other applications depend?
I may have the wrong perspective on all this, but it really befuddles me.
