further down the line though, it looks like a better option (ironpython) for my needs vs compiling c# on the fly which i think is the only way to it.

From my perspective having iron python in .net means I might use it in a “real program”, because python is great for stuff for yourself, or install apps on unix, but unless you embed it, it never reaches an end user. I say all this and I do think of Blender, I think though it’s some compiled core running embedded python

basically anyway cpython never reaches end users beyond programming enthusiasts and academics using things like scipy, so it’s great it’s reliable but it’s not like I can use it anyway…. so I was hoping actually that .net python would be the defacto deployment python actually (and that maybe it would be defacto to deploy python)

so I really see the value in embedded python, if anything now I will need to figure how possibly I can make the python do less so players do not hyjack the game xD

say what anyone will about any what language I think many people really appreciate python to, you could make people use javascript after all!
