How can I import a .PYD module in IronPython? - import

I'm trying to use a python package from IronPython.
Everything works fine if I import regular python modules.
But when I try to do the following:
import win32ui
I get:
No module named win32ui
I've hunted through the code in IronPython.Runtime.Importer and there's no mention of .pyd
Anyone know a way around this?

You can check out IronClad which is working to provide this support. It may or may not work w/ your PYD of choice.

A .pyd file is a DLL. So unless IronPython (which is written in .net) can correctly load C DLLs written for CPython, you might be out of luck.
Update
In fact, according to the IronPython FAQ, you are unfortunately unable to import .pyd files:
Q: How do I build and call into PYD libraries?
A: IronPython does not support using PYDs built for CPython since they
leverage implementation details of CPython. You can get a similar
effect for new "PYD"s you would like to implement by writing them in C#
or VB and building a DLL for .NET.

Run simple swift script from terminal with imported library

I would like to migrate some python code to swift which includes numpy and found a library called Matft.
I'm doing this on a VM and Xcode is very slow, so it would be great to avoid that and use the terminal (ideally run the .swift from a shared folder), but than I got the error: "no such module".
I found that I could pass -I flag and specify a path for the lib, but does not working for me.
Can someone give an easy explanation how to import external library in such situation?

Missing Python file for models using pyCommunicator

My experience with Python is limited, but I just started looking at the new Python models included AnyLogic's examples. I am looking at the 1st one Passing Data Types. The model runs correctly with the set, modify and get functions working as expected. My question is there a python file somewhere that the communicator is working with? I only see the .alp file in the folder.
Thanks
I'm also beginning to use this, but as I understand, the idea of the python helper here (among other things) is that you can run python commands with Anylogic, so you actually don't need a python file. Nevertheless it uses python installed in your computer to run the scripts, if you don't have python installed, your model won't work.

Using distutils to compile plain C code with unmangled output name

I have a little benchmark suite, which compares different approaches to writing and executing some simple toy Python code, mainly for the purpose of illustrating Cython.
One of the approaches I used to have, was to write the test function in pure C, compile it with a C compiler (getting distutils to find and invoke the compiler for me) then load the library into Python with ctypes, and execute the function.
This worked swimmingly until distutils started embedding the python version and the platform in the name of the file it generates.
In the past I could persuade distutils to compile a C source file called C.c into a library called C.so in the working directory: recent versions of distutils insist on mangling the output name into something of the form build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.6 or (depending on exactly what distutils features I use) some other variaton on that theme.
Is there any way to persuade current versions of distutils to simply call the output C.so in the current working directory? (Alternatively, is there some way to reliably and easily tell ctypes where the library produced by distutils resides?)
[Bonus: How can this idea be expressed portably across Linux, OS X and Windows?]
=================================================================
Edit: for completeness, here is how I used to do it successfully in the past:
pure_C_setup.py:
from distutils.core import setup, Extension
setup(name="ctypes-test",
ext_modules = [Extension("C", ["C.c"])])
With the above setup file, the command python pure_C_setup.py install --install-lib=. used to produce C.so in the working directory; today it produces build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.6/C.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
Not platform, not even compiler independent, but you might be able to use Extension's extra_link_args to achieve what you want.
For VCPP 2015:
setup(name="ctypes-test",
ext_modules = [Extension("C", ["C.c"], extra_link_args="/OUT:C.pyd")])

Swift Linux. Error: no such module 'Dispatch'

I use Ubuntu 15.10
I compiled swift-corelibs-libdispatch, get file libdispatch.so
But still if I use "import Dispatch" get an error "no such module 'Dispatch'"
How can I add this module to Swift?
One way to accomplish this would be to set up a system module for libdispatch and use swift build. See https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/blob/13d682a63ea01246dd119cd4cf5c8d90c030566d/Documentation/SystemModules.md on how to use system modules. This quesion, Importing a Swift module using a C library, may also come in handy.
I'm sure there are other ways, too. You should be able to use swift interpreter or swift compiler (swiftc), but I can't think of a way to do that off the top of my head.

Importing Jar classes in powershell

There is java package which I want to import in my powershell script and use the classes available in the package.
Can someone help me achieving this?
PowerShell is based on the .NET runtime. (See the Wikipedia article.) You cannot use Java classes in it. You may, however, use .NET classes. They can be loaded as described here.
Your options are basically:
Find a .NET equivalent. There is often one available, actually.
Write a Java program and execute it using the Java runtime. (java.exe MyClass or whatever command would be used to run it.)
