The future of Dynamo (for Revit) : Python IronPython?

This is very interesting discussion. I also would like to be able to use Tkinter modules but current version of IronPython does not support it. In fact we have today latest version IronPython 2.7.7rc2 I can see that works started on IronPython 3. Unfortunately not much progress happening right now. We are trying to get a good final 2.7 release out and then will be focusing on IronPython3. I would hope to have something usable by the end of the year (there are many changes we need to implement)…

As noted in the post jean linked to, Dynamo runs on IronPython 2.7, not standard Python 2.7, which means that some Python libraries (tkinter, numpy, etc.) are not available. IronPython lib:

Standard Python 2.7 lib:

Note the lib-tk folder which is not present in the IronPython Lib directory.
