My first attempt to do something useful with IronPython:
>>> import urllib
>>> urllib.urlopen("http://crschmidt.net/")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File httplib, line unknown, in getreply
File httplib, line unknown, in getresponse
File httplib, line unknown, in __init__
File System, line unknown, in set_ReceiveBufferSize
File System, line unknown, in SetSocketOption
WindowsError: Invalid arguments
Note that I’m working on OS X, and my exception is a WindowsError. Fancy.
(I was inspired by Bill Thorp’s efforts to get TileCache working on IronPython: Round 1, Round 2. However, I’m not all that inspired now.)
Still, it is kind of cool that IronPython just ran — I didn’t expect that to work. Maybe there’s something to this mono business after all.
