Editing IronPython (section)

== Silverlight ==
IronPython is supported on [[Silverlight]] (which is deprecated by Microsoft and already has lost support in most web browsers<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/locale/en-us/html/installation-win-SL5.html|title=Silverlight 5 System Requirements|website=www.microsoft.com|access-date=2019-11-16}}</ref>). It can be used as a scripting engine in the browser just like the [[JavaScript]] engine.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ironpython.net/browser/|title=Write browser applications in Python |work=IronPython.net |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130317012431/http://ironpython.net/browser/ |archive-date=2013-03-17}}</ref> IronPython scripts are passed like simple client-side JavaScript scripts in <code><script></code>-tags. It is then also possible to modify embedded [[XAML]] markup.

The technology behind this is called Gestalt.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
// DLR initialization script.
<script src="http://gestalt.ironpython.net/dlr-latest.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

// Client-side script passed to IronPython and Silverlight.
<script type="text/python">
    window.Alert("Hello from Python")
</script>
</syntaxhighlight>

The same works for [[IronRuby]].
