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.
Contents
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 2.6 and is also for free from [1].
On Linux and Mac OSX
You'll need the following:
- On Mac OSX, you will need XCode (to give you "make").
- Install mono-2.6 (or latest) from here. Here is a shortcut:
- wget http://mono.ximian.com/monobuild/snapshot/snapshot_sources/mono/mono-134581.tar.bz2
- tar xf mono-134581.tar.bz2
- cd mono-134581
- ./configure
- make
- make install
- Install libgdiplus from here. Here is a shortcut:
- wget http://mono.ximian.com/monobuild/snapshot/snapshot_sources/libgdiplus/libgdiplus-129909.tar.bz2
- tar xf libgdiplus-129909.tar.bz2
- cd libgdiplus-129909
- ./configure
- make
- make install
- Pyjama Sources. From the command line:
$ svn co http://svn.cs.brynmawr.edu/Myro/trunk/Pyjama Pyjama $ cd Pyjama (You might have to edit src/Makefile to change the location of Mono) $ make
That will build and run Pyjama.
On Windows
To Just Install
Download the latest version of Pyjama from http://myro.roboteducation.org/~dblank/myro/pyjama/
Unzip, and run setup.exe.
For Development
- You will need the .NET Compact Framework
- You will need a Visual Studio, such as this free version: Visual Studio Express
- Checkout the SVN directory from: http://svn.cs.brynmawr.edu/Myro/trunk/Pyjama
- Build the Solution in that directory
- Run it

Troubleshooting
Didn't build? Won't run? Send a note to: dblank AT cs DOT brynmawr DOT edu
We'll have a real issue tracking system up soon.
