I hear rumour that the ironpython capabilites of umbraco may be curtailed or removed in 4.1. I am by no means a python (or umbraco) expert but it seems to be a useful feature. What can I do in terms of contributing to umbraco to ensure that feature doesn't go away?
RE: Python Posted 9/19/2009, By Niels Hartvig The current implementation of IronPython in Umbraco is *very* old and uses very early versions of IronPython - as such the implementation is very hacked and even "very'er" experimental. We're looking at either drop support for IronPython in 4.1 or re-write it.
To remove python would mean we'd need to remove a whole lot of stuff in the core (i.e. macro editor UI, etc...). I think it's a very cool feature, though I've not used it much. Perhaps I'll have a quick look to see if there's a newer/better version of IronPython to put in it's place (most likely there is).
It was breifly spoke about that maybe we should remove it but as far as i am aware, its staying in.
The new code editor in 4.1 also supports python, so that's pretty cool too!
Python in umbraco

I hope that will not happen. Where may there rumors be found?
Hi Alec,
you can find some of these roumores here:

The support for IronPyhton is experimental (and outdated) and very likely to be removed in v4.1. I'd go for c#
