Package compatibility

Note

IronPython does not currently support packages which are C extension modules.

numpy

⚠️ Not supported - C extension module.

pandas

⚠️ Not supported - requires numpy.

pytest (4.6.11)

To install:

ipy -m pip install pytest==4.6.11 typing==3.10.0.0

The package fails with (probably the same issue as https://github.com/IronLanguages/ironpython3/issues/1212):

SystemError: Cannot access a closed file.

Edit _pytest/capture.py and replace:

with f:
    tmpfile = safe_text_dupfile(f, mode="wb+")

with:

tmpfile = EncodedFile(f, getattr(f, "encoding", "utf-8"))

requests (2.21.0)

To install:

ipy -m pip install requests==2.21.0

sympy (1.4)

To install:

ipy -m pip install sympy==1.4

The above will also automatically install mpmath 1.2.1 if not yet installed.

sympy comes with an interactive console, which can be started with:

ipy -m isympy
