Win 8 is practically a new OS target - the nt module may need to be replaced with a metro module to handle it well. Accessing the WinRT APIs directly from Python will also require a set of Python projections for the API, which should be straightforward to generate from the WinRT metadata files. I know Dino Viehland did some work on that; not sure if he can elaborate or not though. Otherwise, IronPython would be the only option for writing Metro apps in Python - not that I'd be *horribly* upset at that :). IronPython is slowly growing Metro support, and it seems like most things will work, but the .NET framework shields it from a lot of the WinRT guts. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
