Importing FreeCAD in Dynamo Python

[cnirbhay]

I don't know another way to get the compiler used to build python.
I suspect Dynamo's Python 2.7 is built with VC9, this is what standard Python is built with.
FreeCAD's python is built with VC12, so the 2 python's would be incompatible as they would try load different CRT's.

Maybe you can get some info from Dynamo's Help About or the like?

EDIT: I just discovered that Dynamo uses Iron Python and doesn't work with CPython compiled extensions (like FreeCAD.pyd)
see here for ex. https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/numpy-for ... cript/5394 (i.e. numpy.pyd)

So you will only be able to use pure python modules (.py files) with Dynamo apparently.

Oh, I see. Well, thank you so much for a nice explanation. I'll find out if something can be done.

is ironpython compatible with cpython?

is ironpython compatible with cpython?

From what I could gather for pure python, cpython to ironpython yes, ironpython to cpython usually.
For compiled extensions never.
From my link above at the end it is mentioned that Dynamo is removing pip support, I wonder why

It's a pity Dynamo is developed in c#... Hopefully there will be a qt based alternative available some day.
