This page describes the planning of Pyjama Editor and Shell. The Pyjama IDE is a cross-platform environment for learning about computing. This is part of the Pyjama Project.

Overview

The Pyjama interface is written in C#. This will allow any of the .NET/Mono Languages (IronPython, IronRuby, PyjamaScheme, JavaScript, F#, J#, etc) to use the API.

Development

One can program either in Visual Studio (only available on Windows) or in Mono (available on most platforms). Mono has a development environment (called MonoDevelop), but you can also use any editor. There is a free Visual Studio Express available from Microsoft. Pyjama requires Mono 2.4 and is also for free from [1].

On Linux and Mac OSX

From the command line:

$ svn co http://svn.cs.brynmawr.edu/Myro/trunk/Pyjama Pyjama
$ cd Pyjama
$ make

On Windows

1. You will need the .NET Compact Framework
2. You will need a Visual Studio, such as this free version: Visual Studio Express
3. Checkout the SVN directory from: http://svn.cs.brynmawr.edu/Myro/trunk/Pyjama
4. Build the Solution in that directory
5. Run it
