I am just hoping at some point people get somewhat interested in this project. I am still uncertain what is stopping them...
I'm sure there are a few, myself included, very interested in this project, time is my limiting factor at the moment but I'll jump in when I get time.
One thing that does concern me though is Python is a great scripting language, while also being a powerful language in its own right, and that's why VB has done so well also. They take away all the 'safety' coding normally associated with 'C' styles and hides it behind wrappers. Things like transactions, opening/closing db's for read only/write etc. These are more complex tasks that you wouldn't normally expect in VB or Python, sure there's error handling but the nitty gritty is handled below the surface.
What I'm trying to say is that writing .net in Python will be similar, in structure at least, to writing C#. Look at VB.net and how much more difficult/complex it is to write using .net, no more 'ModleSpace.Add(MyLine)', it's all transactions, getting bt's and btr's etc etc.
Much more coding than what you'd expect in a higher level language.
Having said that, I'd rather write in Python than VB.net any day and there is every possibility of writing a library to handle the more mundane tasks and make it more 'Python-esque', so keep up the good work Tim and I'll jump in soon
