cvxopt and .NET

[Martin]

I would like to use the cvxopt for geometric programming in my
research framework written in C#. I have tried a binding via
IronPython and IronClad, however it didn't work at all.

Is there please any other way to call cvxopt from .NET? I'm looking
forward for any ideas and suggestions.

IronPython does not support all extension modules - they have to be
integrated into
in some special way, I think.

Perhaps the following is realistic:

1) figure out how to make an IronPython CVXOPT port.

or

2) if you can include regular C code, then you can embed the
Python interpreter and invoke CVXOPT from there. We have an
example of that in the examples section.

So I'm currently testing something similar to the 2)

A bit outdated package called Python for .NET offers a way to call
Python from .NET without translating it to IL. The whole thing is
really painful to work with, but I've almost mastered it. However, as
soon as there will be a way to use IronPython I will switch.
