Mailing List Archive @ Google

Post by Hirazi Blue » 28 Mar 2012, 07:56

Could someone please check the Softimage Mailing List Archive over at Google Groups for me? The last topic I see listed there is a 1 post long topic named "Softimage and Iron Python?" by Stefan Kubicek, posted yesterday morning. As I assume there will have been Mailing List activity since then (call it a hunch!), it would appear something is broken between the actual Mailing List and the Google Group Archive.

Well, Mailing List Archive sort of restarted (but one day of posts went missing) and Stephen Blair informed me elsewhere (his blog to be precise) that the Google Group isn't maintained by Softimage but by a user.
I have one "strange" request though. Before the Google Archive broke down there was a post named "Softimage and Iron Python?" by Stefan Kubicek that I really wanted to follow. So my question is to those of you who are on the list: did this post get follow-ups in the mysterious dark era of the Mailing List Archive?
And one other thing: IIRC, there once was such a thing as a digest mode for the Mailing List. Could someone please tell me, if that still exists & how this would work? I don't need to post on the Mailing List (I post too much as it is), but the Google Group fail showed me I don't want to miss out on being able to read the contributions.
Thanks in advance...
;)

It won't work. The .NET integration in XSI is based on COM automation and last time I checked, IronPython wasn't supporting it as most of the .NET languages do.

and an additional reply:
you could probably piggyback on C# and use Iron Python to implement your plugin items, but I never tried it.

@EricTRocks - Thanks. :-bd
I was already afraid of that, but you never know...

@all - "digest mode" on the Mailing List?
